This brings to mind the idyllic end of Wild Strawberries, where he sees his long dead parents beside the water. (on youtube: wild strawberries final scene)

eeeow! This one pierced my heart. I often think of Einstien's idea that the past and future exist like rooms in a house, that our consiousness is some how moving from room to room but thre rooms and what happened in them remain. This gives me comfort in troubled times. I think about lovely days I have had, am having, will always have in some other time room. Stonewall Jackson's (Confederate Civil War general) last words were, "lets cross the river and go into the trees." Thanks

...this poem makes me sad because I understand completely but less sad than a fog at night where we pass towards some light....

Oh so lovely! And for me so true. After a certain age, for me anyway, even with so many friends on this side, I begin to feel I have more friends on the other side Eden. Thanks so much. No raging against the dying of the light when the time comes.
