My continuing passion is to part a curtain,
that invisible shadow that falls between people—
the veil of indifference to each other's presence,
each other's wonder, each other's human plight.
~ Eudora Welty, Novelist, Short Story Writer

Ok. Yes. Wow. Gulp.
Yes, what a good parting that would be ...
The world is better for having had her presence. We are richer for hearing her voice.
