Snodderly - I have noticed that I am both more vulnerable, and more robust than I was a couple of years or so back. More robust in that I now enjoy many activities again, and laugh and have fun. I have started singing as I do things, and laugh out loud quite often
More vulnerable in that I am more moved to pity, more aware of the suffering in lives than ever I was. I have used my grieving time to grieve other losss in my life - the loss of my parents, and my sister, the awareness of geting older . .I am aware of the desperate nature of so many lives . . . I feel much more 'grown up'. Truly it has been a rite of passage for me too
I was actually thinking of some well publicised scandals in teh UK, like Sir Charles Dilke, who would have become Prime Minister except for an infatuation with another woman; Charles Parnell was another . . . Now it looks so much like MLC - they literally did not seem to care they were wreckingcareers in Public Life that had taken years to build up.
