The End

"What we call the beginning is often the end. And to make an end is to make a beginning. The end is where we start from." - T.S. Eliot, Four Quartets

With respect to my last post, I'm thrilled to have found this quote. This little gem of guidance!!!

The end and the beginning of "my" story is of course the death of my grandmother. I wasn't there when my grandmother passed away, but I felt her let go. I think of her every time I see a red breasted robin. I read somewhere of a superstition in Quebec that says the first person to see a robin in the spring will have good luck... Dr. William H Drummond wrote a poem about it called "The First Robin". I'll look it up for you.
