"An Absense so Great"

• How could I ever prepare for an absence the size of you?

• Absence is to love what wind is to fire; it extinguishes the small, it enkindles the great. -Comte De Bussy-Rabutin

• How little it takes to appease us when we trust those around us to keep us safe.

• Suzanne was bound by the desire all have when faced with grave emptiness;  the yearning to keep the old routines, hoping they might wash away despair.  And yet, they couldnt because something - everything - had changed.

• I remember that the pastor has said the word "Talent" came from a Roman coin & was a currency.  If I could just learn how to spend it wisely.
