memories single-mom men
Man passes; he knows that he is dust; nothing is more evident than his frailty. If he should for a single moment forget it, what a chorus of voices would recall it to him!

Legend and myth, all tangled in an alphabet of trees remembered, not always with understanding, but with wonder. With awe. Charles de Lint
