if you are feeling sad, just look at this face, this sweet soul. you may want to cry. you will feel again. you'll feel better, i mean, at least a little, and that is the thing. and listen to mysterium, by hammock. sad wonder.  suzanne saw mister this morning from across the street through her ivy covered courtyard window and said even from a distance she could tell how happy he was to be out walking, even with his arthritic wiggle. i said he's a good illustration of joy in pain, reminding me daily that no matter how grim it gets, an apple is still an apple, and an apple is joy, and it's still beautiful to be alive.
