I like the poem by Robert Frost. Walls always fall down eventually.

Now Jack Gilbert I have met. Mr. Finch and I took a workshop with him. He was an admirable poet and I do not say that lightly.

The poem I found about Icarus flying before he fell - that he didn't fail, he succeeded until he didn't anymore, I really liked. It relates to relationships and love affairs - the idea that because something ends doesn't mean it didn't have value when it existed. I find that a pretty idea. I sometimes think people give up too easily, or perhaps engage when they shouldn't have in the first place - but no matter, we can be grateful for the warmth and closeness we felt - even if it didn't last forever.
Do you believe in life after death, or something like it? Does Mr. Finch live only in your memory -- and to be honest, I think that's enough.

Yes, I agree that just because a relationship ends doesn’t mean it didn’t have value, or that the value is changed somehow by the ending. And certainly we humans engage when our best interests are not in play. :) I do believe a kernel of energy that belongs to us in our lifetimes carries over. Mr. Finch and I talked about this a lot and it was reflected in the matching tattoos we each got of what they call, an endless knot. The idea that we are to some extent endlessly connected. But as I teased him a lot the last few months...I get to be the boy next time.

A long time favorite.
Re another's note....I feel Kermit is as near as my heart...not him but something that feels like his presence did when I was with him and we were in sync.
