Papier-mâché

Mind is heavy this morning with some sad news -- news that doesn't impact me personally but affects someone I knew for many years. I won't go into any details because I want to respect this person's privacy, but suffice it to say the media hasn't let go of this one yet.

It's easy to sit here and say, "You think you know somebody, and then this ..." but we don't really know each other. We don't know what goes on behind closed doors. In Prufrock, Eliot said, "There will be time, there will be time to prepare a face to meet the faces that you meet."
That's very true.

I won't drag this out; it's painfully vague, which does not make for good blog reading. I just wanted to air my thoughts. If you can spare a little prayer/blessing to heal a family in need, I'm pretty sure the universe will route the message in the right direction.
