authority

I gained authority for myself by laughing at the tender fragility of skin. The passing edges of friends lost in the immensity of the sky or the depths of the earth. If not now, when? If not me, who? And yet I listen with admiration, curiosity and astonishment to the sounds of others. I'm open, as Craig like me to remember Lew, so that all of it may flow through.

I started with authority and ended up in a river flowing to the sea - in the death of a friend. That's what give me my authority - in passing. Passing to three words in one: GRACE - GRACEFUL - GRACIOUS. Graceful and light in the midst of a violent and tender universe.
