Thank you, Heather. Your letter prompted this: by John Donne
No man is an island, Entire of itself. Each is a piece of the continent, A part of the main. If a clod be washed away by the sea, Europe is the less. As well as if a promontory were. As well as if a manor of thine own Or of thine friend's were. Each man's death diminishes me, For I am involved in mankind. > On Sep 19, 2023, at 1:07 PM, Heather Dolstra <heat...@democracytravel.com> > wrote: > > Dearest Doc, > > I have struggled for the past 4 days with such sadness over this news and > didn’t know what to do with that feeling, considering that I never met James. > It didn’t even seem right to join in with my own message of condolence. > However, it occurred to me that in the theatre, as in all art, we may not > “know” the actor, performer, or artist but that doesn’t mean that we are not > profoundly moved by their existence.
