Dear George,
I was watching T.V. a few weeks ago. It was about elephants.
Elephants are herd animals. One of their herd had passed away.
They all came together and went to where the fallen animal was.
They stood in a circle and moaned at their loss. And then left and
resumed doing what elephants do.
Anthropologists who study primitive tribes are impressed that
these tribes all have a ritual...instinctual. They somehow know
that a ritual makes it easier to bear a loss.
In modern society, we have a group of psychologists and others
who say that to speak/write diffuses the energy of a loss no
matter how painful it is.
Life goes on.
Life must go on.
I appreciate what you have done.
Love,
Henry
