More From Joni Mitchell

There are many kinds of loss embedded in a loss - the loss of the person, and the loss of the self you got to be with that person. and the seeming loss of the past, which now feels forever out of reach.
Loss Past Self
The very best reason parents are so special . . . is because we are the holders of a priceless gift, a gift we received from countless generations we never knew, a gift that only we now possess and only we can give to our children. that unique gift, of course, is the gift of ourselves. whatever we can do to give that gift, and to help others receive it, is worth the challenge of all our human endeavor.
