Ah, oh well... that must have: Ah, oh well... that must have been it then! The memory is gradually presenting itself! It was a season that I lost my laptop to "natural causes."

I have been reading: I have been reading Patricia's poems for about four years, but still, each new poem she posts is an event, and a verbal mechanism for generating a sense of awe and wonder.  And in this poem, she creates a phrase that resonates in such a deeply personal way that I had to read it a couple of times to make sure I was reading it right:  the prayerlight of dusk.  I have been reading poetry for over half a century, and I have read some very excellent phrases (although far less than the number of poems I have read), and prayerlight of dusk is one of those I shall never forget.  At this late stage of my life, I can even pray that I shall die, when the hour comes, in the prayerlight of dusk.  The depth of meaning in that phrase is as great as the thunderclap, two thousand years ago, in Vergil's phrase, "Cum Juno . . ." in the first book of the Aeneid.      If I may be anecdotal, even gushingly personal . . . I first saw the prayerlight of dusk in 1976, twice, in moments that were far more powerful than just watching a sunset.  In the last couple of weeks, in the midst of severe bodily illness, I have been blessed to "reconnect" with my past in ways that are more significant to me than I would have thought, as if coming full circle, and the apex of that process is that phrase for which, Patricia, I will always be grateful.
