Walk on...



This opens the poem "Forget" by Czeslaw Milosz:

Forget the suffering
You caused others.
Forget the suffering
Others caused you.
The waters run and run,
Springs sparkle and are done,
You walk the earth you are forgetting.

The closing line spoke to me and the song You'll Never Walk Alone from the Rogers and Hammerstein musical "Carousel" came to mind.   After Billy’s suicide, Nettie comforts the distraught Julie with words of hope.  

Hope is a wonderful thing.  
Walk on!
