Hi Hurley: Been thinking of you and this great sorrow. And I hope you forgive me for sharing a link, but it might be helpful. If you take out the "god" part in this and tuck in the Divine, Goddess, Creator (s), or whatever...this simple, elegant prayer is a gentle gift for living in this ever-changing and complex world: https://www.contemplativeoutreach.org/welcoming-prayer-method/.

I am sending you warmth and waiting for your next post!

(PS: I cannot figure out how to put you on my recommended reading list...is that because you're not doing paid subscriptions yet??)

There's a beautiful 17th century Spanish play I know called "Life Is A Dream". When life feels like a nightmare, and I'm feeling helpless, I always go to this line:

"The good you do is never lost. Not even in dreams..."

And the lines you write, dear Hurley, are never lost and are bringing strength and comfort to everyone who reads them...

Thanks for this, Hurley. This helped me. I'm on a work trip out of the country and hearing the news from afar has been as gutting as it has been lonely.

Oh gosh, I'm so glad the Duncan Hannah clips resonated with you at this terrible moment. I definitely found his exuberance and optimism a balm, and also invigorating.
