Dear reader,
Dearest Rohini
So sorry about Haiku. I lost my dear wife Fran to cancer last year. The grieving will never end. It is not a pathology. It is a pathos.
But as Frost says in “The Birches”, there’s no place better than this to love.
Or if there is I don’t know it.
I hated when people called me a “carer”. It was so unidirectional. It denied reciprocity.
So then I said no—“partner-carer” to honor what she gave to me until she could no longer.
So think of what Haiku gave to you and give thanks for how lucky you were to have her in your living for as long as you did.

I usually skip reading newsletters because my inbox overwhelms me but I am glad I decided to read this today, this resonated with me so deeply and the poems 😍
RIP Haiku, I hope you find the strength through this difficult time.
Love and light
