Rasp.

Daily Rasp. Closed.

http://thedailyrasp.blogspot.com/2011/05/rasp-is-closed.html

Emily Dickinson sat at a portal to the universal. For those who know the grief of loss, of the closing of ones own life in the closing of others, here is Dickinson putting it, our wonder, for us simply and beautifully.

Parting

My life closed twice before its close;
It yet remains to see
If Immortality unveil
A third event to me,
So huge, so hopeless to conceive,
As these that twice befell.
Parting is all we know of heaven,
And all we need of hell.

We all wish the best for Mrs. Rasp. It's heartening to see how many pray for the family.

It's so hard to let someone know you're thinking of them when we are all just anonymous faces on the internet. I think you've done an exellent job.
