I love this. It's beautiful. The entire interview is terrific, but the honest, open, tender exploration into the shared experience we are all having (
11:40 in),the humanity within us, and the breadth and complexity of navigating grief is moving. What's also struck me is how commonplace such introspection is becoming. I don't recall late-night talk show hosts diving into emotions like this, nor do I recall any of the media really digging in the dirt. It wasn't done. Now it is, and now my kids are coming into their own as adults, bringing a new level of awareness and openness to things of a more intimate, if not spiritual, nature. There's hope for us after all.
(But check back in with me 11/09 for a possible retraction.)
