Those who have left

[Guest guest]

Although none of us has to be reminded of the enormity of someone's passing,

especially those we love, I remember a Orwell story about an

execution. Witnessing a man sidestepping a puddle on the way to his own

hanging, Orwell saw what was wrong with such an execution: here was an

otherwise perfectly functioning individual--heart pumping, lungs breathing,

etc.-- walking to his death. In discussing this, one line really stood out

for me. Orwell said something like, " One mind less, one world less. " And it

is nothing short of that. We have lost many worlds lately. Debbie
