I must've read that a dozen...The World Without. I must've read that a dozen times, and yet I don't think I thought about the double meaning of the term "without" in conjunction with what you're doing here, Debi, until just now. I am referring not to "lack" or "unaccompanied," but to the word beyond. Beyond limits, range, or scope of. Now somewhat dated ("'Your carriage awaits without, darling," he said in a fake British accent, whilst standing in the parlor.'), but a great word nevertheless. The great big world. Out there. The opposite of within. Not only, then, "The world without Britt," but "the world without, in which Britt lives on." I don't know if it was intentional or unintentional, but in catching up all in one fell swoop, in reading old posts about gardens and Mojo (and mojo) and timeless taupe and, of course, memories of Britt, always memories of Britt, this finally dawned on dense old me.<br /><br />I love what you said about sometimes feeling lost between and among the tenses. <br /><br />Happy belated birthday to your shining daughter, and may your Christmas be as merry as you can manage.Greg Hydukehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02848945468759391577noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145515154008115012.post-46329495575075852352009-12-13T07:40:01.430-05:002009-12-13T07:40:01.430-05:00Happy Birthday to your darling girl, Debi.Happy Birthday to your darling girl, Debi.Mary Catherinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18358719012981268301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145515154008115012.post-66200942776616453322009-12-11T18:58:05.826-05:002009-12-11T18:58:05.826-05:00Happy Britt's birthday to you, dear Debi.Happy Britt's birthday to you, dear Debi.Katharine Weberhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05933086172475315821noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8145515154008115012.post-32567058685119890062009-12-11T16:40:54.353-05:002009-12-11T16:40:54.353-05:00Aw, Debi.
