Bracing Ourselves To Meet A New Day Comments

Thank you very much Denis. I am really humbled by your thoughts on this piece.

Time is pregnant this morning, but only with more of the grief that has stretched us to the breaking point. A light gatherer up in the palm tree of life is an intriguing image. I think we are all phototropic and perhaps we admire those who go searching for light directly. But the man in a tree foregoes the light-gathering accomplished by yams and humans together. The man in a tree has downward-facing buttocks. Thanks for the grace note of rueful humor.
