Subject: (39) Even in the midst of horror and crisis, there can be love. It never ceases to amaze me. In real life, most of what we hear are the truly despicable things, but every once in awhile we are treated to one of those beautiful moments, and we're reminded that compassion still exists, even in the worst of circumstances. (40) There are simply too many places in this war-torn world of ours where people have grown accustomed to oppression and occupation and violence. The thing that always blows me away is that, in all those unstable cultures, the women stand out as being stronger than the men. Sure, the men fight and kill, but the women are the ones who hold their tattered world together. (41) That prayer is very moving. It covers the three phases of a woman's life, and the three faces of the Goddess. A fitting way to memorialize the poor, dead, unknown woman Jamie and Pamela discovered.

  • 39. I liked David and appreciated what he did but I was still nervous. I think I'm always nervous meeting new characters because I don't know their motives or who they really are yet. 40. No, I cannot imagine it. I have been petrified a couple of times in my life and dealt a hard blow once that almost did me in but to live like the Irish did on a daily basis at that time, no I cannot fathom it, cannot really understand what it would feel like to know that at any minute my family and my home could be destroyed forever. I am grateful that I do not this. 41 - I like how Elaine worded her response and I could not say it better. (NT) -- Tracy, 16:43:17 08/16/09 Sun
  • David made me nervous at first too Tracy. I wanted to believe it was kindness with no motivation or for something in return. I'm not a cynical person by nature, in my own daily life but I think if you live in times like these (in the book) it probably becomes 2nd (or 1st) nature to doubt first.
