My deep gratitude for your gift of Leo naturally extends to a particular wish for your well being and for that of those whom you hold dear. Your loss is in my thoughts. Perhaps these words from Amon Liner's Variations CLXXXIII have some bearing: what is a saint? the palpable man who touches the living death of others beyond the rumble of the stone wagon that hauled his shadow away, who kisses their death and makes it well, whose hand displays the water and the light in its mineral season. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "leo-editor" group.
