I knew he was going to speak at 10:00pm but simply couldn't bear to listen. We decided to wait until he was done and listen to a summary and some commentary.
insurance for oil tankers in the persian gulf must be prohibitively expensive if available at all. I have no idea what warships are there. the strait of hormuz must be mined, etc. -----alan
Hugs help. Thanks, Renee. Shiloh's eldest (Eldest*Grand) posted a thank you to her friends this week, with a clip from the ABBA song Chiquitita. It was so fitting that I went and looked up the lyrics. It blew me away...
Chiquitita, tell me what's wrong You're enchained by your own sorrow In your eyes there is no hope for tomorrow
How I hate to see you like this There is no way you can deny it I can see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, tell me the truth I'm a shoulder you can cry on Your best friend, I'm the one you must rely on
You were always sure of yourself Now I see you've broken a feather I hope we can patch it up together
Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leavin' You'll be dancing once again and the pain will end You would have no time for grievin'
Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shinin' above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita
So the walls came tumblin' down And your love's a blown out candle All is gone and it seems too hard to handle
Chiquitita, tell me the truth There is no way you can deny it I see that you're oh so sad, so quiet
Chiquitita, you and I know How the heartaches come and they go and the scars they're leavin' You'll be dancin' once again and the pain will end You will have no time for grievin'
Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shinin' above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Try once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita
Chiquitita, you and I cry But the sun is still in the sky and shinin' above you Let me hear you sing once more like you did before Sing a new song, Chiquitita
And she says *eventually* we'll sing a new song. Bless her.
I still can't get through the line "Now I see you've broken a feather" without tears. "Feathers" feels so raw given Shiloh's lifework. It means you can't fly. I'd say I feel I've lost some primary feathers. It'll take awhile to regrow those.
