...Thank you all so much for the encouraging words.<br /><br />So interesting to me of the way that my story has been mirroring my life as of late. Since Monday my wife has been in ICU here in Chicago on a ventilator fighting off an infection. There have been days that my fictional words have echoed in my mind.kc bobhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17440862813109808755noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-912103846250410812011-07-29T07:50:10.133-04:002011-07-29T07:50:10.133-04:00I felt that the repetition was like the neverendin...I felt that the repetition was like the neverending circular thoughts haunting him.

In my foolish youth, I used to think the universe as all Mind because it had, through us, the ability to look back at itself. Now I agree more with what Paul wrote: Three things will remain: faith, hope and love; and of these three, love is the greatest, love is eternal. <br /><br />Beautiful story and a clever incorporation of Jason's picture.Linda Ryan-Harperhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15164148666810818891noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15498010.post-56241822010882284732011-07-23T05:21:42.172-04:002011-07-23T05:21:42.172-04:00KB - you have captured intense grief and the road ...KB - you have captured intense grief and the road to recovery beautifully here.
