This book was my companion; through aging and timing, luck and loss, hope and rage- all the happy tragedies of life and love. It is my guide through darker nights, and I hope it will encourage you to write your own.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eMerry Meet and Merry Part is a guide through times of transition, following a philosophical thread; reuniting hardship with stoicism, without losing care and joy. The author uses poetry to make sense of a traumatic ten year relationship, the divorce, banishment from shattered communities, isolation borne from broken friendships, horrible injuries, disability, surgeries- and then, recovery. The slow growing seed of a new, different life; armed with the will and wisdom to mend hope, protect herself, and love again.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e'Be still.
