Thank you for that reminder, Gloria.

 

I find it absolutely apt.

 

I have been depressed these last few days

b/c of problems in my personal life,

and the only way to find some respite

from the emotional turmoil is to

sit inside the silence that descends from time

to time and watch that.

 

Thanks again, Glo.

 

Love,

 

Amanda.
