It Is Well - But....

sorrows like sea billows rolling at work last week

the lost 25-year-old, going under, who likely will end up like the man who stayed in the Mission in the 70's and is now back

the hardened, protecting himself in his fear by taking advantage, getting as much as he can, and being asked to leave

the longing, who so wants to be free of the grip his addictions have on him, after a "successful" program, being given extra responsibilities and freedoms, falling again

the fun, engaging, lovable, who I had to say goodbye to

the kind and quizzical, with infected and weakened lungs, in the hospital, who lost another friend to lung cancer two weeks ago

too many goodbyes
not enough happy endings

I'm glad there are the good days to balance these out.
