Editorial Note: Sometimes, in quiet moments, I recall many memories. This was one of those moments. Somehow, they seemed to all fuse together to form a new memory, a new understanding. At times the feelings I write, though originally precipitated by a certain individual or situation, find new meaning and new expression as my life progresses. The love I’ve had for one finds new expression, heightened experiences, and deeper meaning in another. The pain I felt once can build bridges of understanding. Laughter always soothes the soul and makes things bearable, no one point in my life has a monopoly on that. I experience it with newness each time. And each memory I form is unique and though I can never again live one in exactly the same way, each has beautiful meaning to me, and none can steal that from another.
