Subject: 87.3 That shit happens personally and politically and things may get bruised and broken-down but they are necessarily irreparable. The cottage can be rebuilt, like a relationsip, like a country. 87.4 I think he will keep the promise or at least die trying to. I don't think these characters make promises easily or break them easily. Sometimes life gets in the way though and for all the best intentions that Casey had, promises were broken. I struggle with whether it is fair to hold someone to an absolute that maybe shouldn't be an absolute. I mean is it really fair? I think I am clear as mud tonight so maybe I should stop posting?? Epilogue 2. I wasn't sure on my first read but did hope that it wasn't too far away from Ireland. I think Jamie has to be somewhere where he would still be able to remain in contact via some means because of all his responsibilities. Now, I'm trying to figure out if there really is good fishing in Russia.

  • 87.5) You can imagine that we still read/recite Goodnight Moon in this household. The gentle, soft simplicity of the rhyme stands in stark contrast to the complexities in the lives of the characters, and life in NI in general. >>>> -- Elaine, 05:22:05 11/03/07 Sat
  • I love your thoughts about the cottage and how it represents the love & marriage between Casey & Pamela. No way do I have anything to add to that - beautiful :-) (NT) -- Mahri, 08:44:41 11/03/07 Sat
  • Just lovely, Elaine. Tackling the insurmountable one step at a time...very true. (NT) -- Denise, 10:38:43 11/03/07 Sat
  • Elaine, that was wonderful! (NT) -- susiej, 11:23:18 11/03/07 Sat
  • That is a really gorgeous summation, E. now I only wish I merited it, it just fit with the moon etc. and the new beginning, a fresh start. The cottage was because on my first trip to Ireland I saw so many of those deserted little cottages and asked someone about them. She told me many had been empty since the Famine, but no one would knock them down for superstitous reasons, etc. Well it stuck in my head and this is what resulted. But thanks for making me feel smart. :) (NT) -- celtgirl, 20:15:34 11/03/07 Sat
