Despair
I've been feeling so despondent lately; small or even beautiful things can turn my thoughts to death. Yesterday at the supermarket there was a big display on bulbs and I almost burst into tears. While Saul was sick with cancer, I read E.B. White's account of his wife's illness. He admired the way that she planned her tulip patches in the fall, even though she was profoundly ill. He called it, "planning her resurrection."
