Not in so many words

In the small moments of this week many found many those thinking about those they love, those they cherish, those that fill the spaces in their life as friends, family and loves.

Sometimes it is loud and clear

other times subtle

But the sentiment is the same.








And  this week he found another way to say....still and always

Wild Geese
You do not have to be good.
You do not have to walk on your knees
For a hundred miles through the desert, repenting.
You only have to let the soft animal of your body
love what it loves.
Tell me about despair, yours, and I will tell you mine.
Meanwhile the world goes on.
Meanwhile the sun and the clear pebbles of the rain
are moving across the landscapes,
over the prairies and the deep trees,
the mountains and the rivers.
Meanwhile the wild geese, high in the clean blue air,
are heading home again.
Whoever you are, no matter how lonely,
the world offers itself to your imagination,
calls to you like the wild geese, harsh and exciting --
over and over announcing your place
in the family of things.

And it's not just him , or them,  
  but them ....
While there are are comment and articles saying Jake denied having children during his interview for Prisoners. When he actually found a way to say something  much more:
 "The children I know and love in my life."
