| Posted by Alison McKenzie on 09/25/04 at 08:07 PM Oh. oh. A reply will come in the tender touch of the wind, in a quiet moment alone, when the sun touches the horizon after a long night, and there will be a lifting from the lake of grief in one soft, gentle motion. Until then, kind thoughts and love. |
