No missed bus; just late to the bus and profuse apologies on my part to the other travelers who found an English-speaking restaurant.

Is Part II coming? “Missed Bus, Experiencing Life To The Fullest”.
It is good to step outside of our comfort zones.

I love your memories of your grandma and the family she presided over. My Grandma grew up in Kansas too, but left for Alaska as a young school teacher to see the world and never moved back home.

Long overdue Annie but thanks for stopping by. And thanks for giving care to the use of language in trying to express the inexpressible. Your poetry was an act of redemption and reminded me of a story Thomas Lynch tells in The Undertaking. He writes of an undertaker who stayed up all night to care for a brutally murdered girl. It was an gesture of love to redeem the memory of the girl (and her body) from the final act of desecration. Thanks again for your excellent poem.

Thank you so much for posting my poem, Travis. When I wrote the poem, part of my heartbreak was that the act of writing it felt so feeble in the face of the enormity of the tragedy. But every time we share a remembrance, we keep someone alive. Whenever I see that someone has shared the poem it reminds me that yes, our words have power. Yes, our remembrances have power. And that
Love. Always. Wins.

I was there at the concert too; it was epic. The crowd went wild during “With or Without You”. It was one of the best nights of my life.

Very nice poem about a very intense photo. It never gets any less intense. Great work!

The picture was taken at the Lake of the Ozarks on one of our recent nights of stunning sunsets.

Lovely picture. Which lake is that?
Thank you for introducing me to that poem on this day, and at this place in my life.
