Without going into much detail, I will simply say that I was able to connect on an emotional level with one of the most angry, rageful men I have ever met. At first, I was put off by his fury and hateful name calling. But, all of a sudden I got it! Underneath anger is pain. He was very angry because he was in great pain. I was able to verbalize his pain, and take his side - against a whole shitload of other people - and I was able to earn, if not his trust (we'll save that for another day) - at least his respect. Whoa. What a high that is!

Spring is here. I believe I will venture out to the Marsh and see if I can get photos of the baby ducks tomorrow. Maybe this time I can get close enough... Ahhh my queendom for a telephoto lens!
