Nicola, Thank you for your letter. I'm glad you're feeling better. While my parents were living, I derived much encouragement and support from my relationship to them. I hope your experience is similar. My thinking and reading about the concept of time has run aground. The word is used with so many different meanings that I have lost my way. I plan to spend several days cleaning and putting this house in order. I hope that when I return to thinking about the topic of time, I will be less confused. Stay well and be happy. EJM
