Screwy Memorial Day thoughts

I went to the Memorial Day ceremony in the Capitol rotunda with my living grand children - felt all the sorrows of grieving war dead - all the sadness of living in a world that has not found a way to avoid wars. And Out of the blue I had the thought "Mira will never go for a soldier, live in a city besieged by bombs, bury her husband, son, daughter, as a result of war." I don''t know what I think about thinking that, but it seems right to record that I did.
