Since Lauren's suicide nearly five years ago, the time of year between the approach of her birthday in December and the anniversary of her death in March has been difficult for me. I'm certain the gloomy weather contributes heavily.
So far, and I'm afraid I may be jinxing myself by saying so, I've managed to avoid an outright funk this season. The downward pull seems weaker anyway and for that I'm very thankful.
***
Ring the bells
That still can ring
Forget your perfect offering
There is a crack in everything
That's how the light gets in.
~ Leonard Cohen, poet & musician, "Anthem"
