Apr. 1st, 2005 09:38 pmho-lee. I'm away for 30 hours, and I am so. backlogged.
and I think all I can say right now is...
Pope.
I know it seems ineloquent. harsh, brusque, uncaring, insensitive, possibly even offensive. but... the loss of such a Holy Man is not something I can compute right now. God and the Church and I will confront it later tonight, with a copy of the Bible, the Catechism, and the BCP.
...hum
(comment with anything you're antsy for me to see. the 5madmuses fic is steadily happening, and surprising me at 10 pages and growing.)

Date: 2005-04-01 08:20 pm (UTC)I guess I'm the one you're concerned about offending, since I appear to be offended by everything.
But...
this time I'm not. I know that, when you're as far away from someone who dies (geographically, or distance-wise, whichever you prefer), it sometimes doesn't register right away. Especially for someone you don't know personally. You just kinda shrug your shoulders and go on, for the time being. When my grandpa died, I was rather numb for days. I did cry atthe funeral of course, but even now, occasionally, I find myself tearing up. I guess my point here is that grief affects us all in different ways, and if you're not feeling anything right now, that's okay.
I hope your little session with God tonight proves fruitful in the best way possible: with you at peace and with joy in your heart. That's the most anyone can ask for, especially in these turbulent times.
