season of the witch

Donovan, back in the sixties, wrote a song called Season of the Witch. it is appropriate for what i feel today. winter is a tough enough time with holidays without losing friends. this am i picked up the paper and found a friend's picture and obituary listed and added his name to two other classmates from high school that had died in the past week. three friends leaving at the same time.... it makes you stop and think about life more as you grow older, and consider how you can make the best of each day.... to see the beauty in everything and everyone..... and to decide how you can continue to make a difference in this world...... if only answers came easier.... we'll just say a prayer for those remaining and wish these three Godspeed in their next endeavors.
