Can't explain in any intelligible manner, but you've touched the core of me, my mood, my despair. I'm just not sure how to handle that touch right now. I’m not sure what to say, Loren.

You got me too. Of course, the symbolic beauty of Christmas is tied right in with the symbolism of absolute absence and darkness. Can't have one without the other, but sometimes the door on that hinge swings awful freely. I sympathize with Shelley, and with you. You got me too.

Bittersweet is indeed as good as it gets, no matter what one's individual circumstances. The wonder of it is how many of those around us behave with courage and dignity in dealing with and transcending the bitterness. Thank you, Loren, for this beautiful post.

The train is my latest Christmas decoration, and I plan on sticking around at least until my grandchildren are so old that they're bored with it. I really think the idea I've been moving toward the last week or so is very similiar to the mono no aware concept Jonathon discussed in his latest entry. After reading that, I almost thought there was no need to write this. This should be a great Christmas, and I’m not going to worry about a future that I cannot control.
