[QUOTE="scent of cedar, post: 597624, member: 1721"] I think maybe those feelings are like the air raid sirens they used to warn the English populace to take cover, back in WWII. But no matter how loudly the sirens wailed, people were killed; life was changed. The city was devastated. Irreplaceable things were lost. And though the English survived, their lives were never the same, again. That's how it is for us too, I think. Only there's a kind of desperate ~ I don't know. Is it haste? Is it being pro-active? Something like that. We are determined not to lose anything more. We are frantic; panicked, at the scent of loss that hangs over these times like the blackest thunderheads you ever saw. And the sirens go off. And I don't know, Witz. All we know when it's over is that we're still standing. And I know one thing more. There are others who are still standing, too. In their eyes and their stories, we hear our own reflected. And somehow, because there are others still standing, too, we will make it through this. Barbara [/QUOTE]
