And yes, empathy and I would compassion and respect, moves us into some kind of fellowship with others. The possibility is there in writing just as it's there in the noisy, tired darkness of a sleeping refugio or perhaps even better, in the line of people waiting for the refugio to open and wondering if all will get a bed. <BR>
