I was re-reading Whitman’s Leaves of Grass and it occurred to me that there is a strong parallel between his work and that of our own. The leaves represent the cycle of life and death, yet he continued to work on the body of poems until his own death in 1892. Perhaps he, like us, was unable to fully understand his own work as he continuously tried to re-write, add and expand upon it, willing away his own work’s cycle of life… just as we have. Perhaps it’s simpler to recognize when something is gone and learn from the magical lesson of grief rather than avoid it and remain in a consistent state of dissatisfaction.

Albert Camus

The older I get, the more I find that you can only live with those who free you, who love you with an affection that is as light to bear as it is strong to feel.

Today's life is too hard, too bitter, too anemic, for us to undergo new bondages, from whom we love. This is how I am your friend, I love your happiness, your freedom, Your adventure in one word, and I would like to be for you the companion we are sure of, always.

Money

I'm talking to a close friend about money. He was surprised when I told him I spent my twenties broke as anything. I mean, we're talking broke. I haven't been there for a long time. I hope never to be there again. 

That's right!

You know, it took me a while to get this, what Allison meant. She had to remind me of the historical date...which had been slipping in & out of my consciousness. Allison was the first one to tell me a version of what happened on 9/11 sixteen years ago. She said, over the telephone, "I think a plane crashed into a building in NY. I don't know when I'll be able to fly...they're closing all the airports." "For a crash in New York?" All was unclear, in those early hours.
