Yes, absolutely. What's that great Ani Difranco line? "We never see things changing; we only see them ending." To go from seeing the end to seeing the change, that really is beautiful. That, I think, is wisdom. All fleeting. Yes, absolutely. What’s that great Ani Difranco line? “We never see things changing; we only see them ending.”

I mean, there's no doubt that I have. No doubt that I am also a different person for the lack of her. But I speculate about her journey.
