To Understand Each Other Instead Of Wars
March 02nd, 201212:49 AM ETWhen I was about eleven, I became a pen pal of a girl my age from the European country of Austria, through an acquaintance of my father. We wrote for many years, until both of us married and she moved to Germany with her husband. I was going through old letters recently and came across some written by her, in beautiful script in English. Like many... -
Mortality Intrudes
December 08th, 201112:19 AM ETI see my neighbor out in the yard and speak to him. We talk of the usual things: tree changes, apples coming on. My neighbor has terminal cancer.
