Peter Matthiessen, Leonard is free at last. I wish you were alive to celebrate his release. You worked for this long and hard, then left your body. But you, among so many others, were right in your efforts on his behalf. This old one has tears of relief in her eyes today.

Would greatly appreciate some kind of karmic credit for catching and avoiding accidentally sending a particular link to my mom's hospice chaplain just now
