Was there ever any real distance between our years? No, my beloved. Not when time is an account of the heart. For time seems distant only to those with distant hearts.
Why does it seem
so far to me these days
when I just realized - just Now -
the Holocaust is barely but
two generations since,
my Miyang...?
Barely
one thousandth
of a thousandth of a second
by its measure in heaven,
we may have on earth
already forgot...
...and when we do forget
we become less than ourselves -
we become less and less human,
we become less than our nations
and thus, less and less able
to know each other
in the Truth.

For me and my Anne,
June 13 is Friendship Day.
