Friendship and hope renewed
Aug. 5th, 2007 01:12 amAn auspicious moon is rising as I type this: last quarter, half-full. Divided between future and past, like Janus, looking both ahead and behind.
Twenty years ago, on the occasion of parting from my high school classmates, I scribed my thoughts in a journal. At the time, I could scarce have imagined the form of the journal in which I now record these.
( Forgive the slightly flowery prose; it seems I get this way at these times. )
I must remember to pass along to my father the warm wishes of one of his classmates, who called me a few days ago to check up on him - this being his 50th anniversary - and to commend me on my own.
In closing, my feet are sore, as is my throat (from all the talking). But that's okay.
