Having been raised by a mother who has been and is constantly beset by the pains of manic depression and the wish to no longer be a part of the living, this piece speaks volumes to me. I am sure there are so many children, parents, and spouses in the public radio listening audience that will benefit from hearing this piece. Many times loved ones cannot speak about their darkest feelings with each other. This piece will provide an opening for dialogue. These voices, from the ones feeling the pain to the ones who are helping those in pain, to excerpts from literature, reveal things to all of us that need to be said. This piece brought to mind Edna St. Vincent Millay's poem, "Spring," which ends with these final lines: "It is not enough that yearly down this hill, April comes like an idiot, babbling and strewing flowers." Riveting, wonderful piece. Sound rich. Well done. Listen. All of us have had at least one day in our lives where there's been no moon . . . and no sun.
