    The lovers asked me to sing.
    Someone without greed is needed
    to complete what is started.

The Well of Grief - Poem and Image by David Whyte

Dedicated to all those who are grieving today, whether due to natural disaster, unprecented flooding, loss of a loved one, violence, unexpected accident, or despair over our culture or our changing climate.
