T. said it's hard. I know, it's hard. She was grateful for my corroboration. When I said I know, I felt it, it's all of us, it's a hard time, we're not in prison or a concentration camp or a kill zone but we could be and we feel all that and the ghosts arising and the absence of birds. The starlings have left and we haven't seen the sandhill cranes and the daylight grows smaller.
