Beautifully written. It makes me want to buy a new cellphone, find the author’s number, and invite him and his wife to the Steve Earle concert in St. Louis, May 5.

How true, that location can have an enormous effect on how we embrace existence, how we perceive life and death…the city certainly does give us to some extent lives less influenced by the cycles of nature; there’s at times a lot of novel stimulation to compete with the acts of the nature always surrounding us. You make these points well in this story, it really got me logically and emotionally.
Also, having a husband from the middle east, a place quite different in ways from this America, I have been thinking a lot about this issue of different world within one big world we all shared; all so interconnected yet all so diverse! Thanks for sharing this.

My Father died in April 09 and I find this article to be most comforting. He would have loved it. Dad lived on farm when he was young and at the end of his life he gave us a couple thousand photographs of sunrises and birds and sunsets in Cocoa Beach. He lived a beautiful life. Thank you for Blood and Bone.
