The dead don't stay interested in us living people for very long. Gradually, gradually, they let go hold of the earth. . . and the ambitions they had. . . and the things they suffered. . . and the people they loved. They get weaned away from the earth - that's the way I put it - weaned away.
Thank you for this, Peter. For dry eyes and silent weeping. You taught me how to hide anything i felt. More than ever, i need that now.
