the meditative muse

it is not that i have not been taking time lately to write; i have recently had a cold, have been under tremendous pressure at work and simply caught up in the stress and frivolity of the holidays. add to that there has been much craziness in the relationship between me, my wife and her family. "should we let her die with dignity, or can we prolong this?" there are probably some valid reasons for prolonging. one being that she lived through another Christmas. another being that everybody will be able to come for the funeral now. last but not least, they will be able to say that they tried and gave it all they had. worn out is the expression. she looks tired and forlorn when i see her.
