another holiday season over. do I just resolve that they will always be painful? I saw a movie tonight about a French family--the dialogue is more lyrical but very familiar--cruelty, depression, love that doesn't see faults or indulges them, coldness, ruin from generation to generation, frosty blame -- cancers that eat from within and without. Some people just stand in place with their fingers in their ears, humming as loud as they can.
My kitten washes his ears with both paws.
