PASSAGES

 I, like many others share an affinity with James Taylor, his lyrics, his music, and probably his persona.  Like my attachment to John Denver, James Taylor has provided that bridge to a impassioned milieu.  That settling atmosphere that I am seeking to again ignite the exhilaration that I've known before.  Death has its own way of dulling the rapture once felt.  Little by little, the flame begins to glow and the the threat of melancholy starts to ebb.  The tide flows out, and with each new wave upon the shore, a little of that shore is washed back into the sea.   I still miss Dancer everyday.  I still like to believe he's visiting somewhere and will be home soon. I know that's not the case though and that he's running with my other furry beasts that have gone on before him.  I know we'll all get to cross the Rainbow Bridge together.
