"

He was like the other half of myself,' says Boris...Ulrich says, 'You haven't lost {him}, you know. I don't know if it helps to say that. I lost a friend once myself, and I know how it goes.'He'll find his way inside you, and you'll carry him onward. Behind your heartbeat, you'll hear another one, faint and out of step. People will say you are speaking his opinons, or your hair has turned like his.'There are no more facts about him -- that part is over. Now is the time for essential things...Gradually you'll grow older than him, and love him as your son.'You'll live astride the line that separates life from death. You'll become experienced in the wisdom of grief. You won't wait until people die to grieve for them; you'll give them their grief while they are still alive, for then judgment falls away, and there remains only the miracle of being.

Katrina held Bram in her arms, speaking softly, reassuringly, as they approached baby Modoc.This was an important moment, a beginning, for she knew the boy would spend his life with animals, especially elephants, and the meeting was of utmost importance. Neither the elephant nor the baby said a word. All was quiet as they looked at each other. Mo__ small trunk wormed its way up, reaching to the baby. As Bram leaned over, his little hand pulled loose from Katrina__ grasp found its way down toward the trunk. A finger extended to meet the tip of the trunk. Bram__ expression was one of curiosity; he felt the wet tip, Modoc moved her __inger_ all around Bram__ hand, sliding it across each finger and the palm. A big tickle grin spread across Bram__ face, Modoc did her elephant __hirp,_ a tear glistened as it ran down Katrina__ face. All was well. The future had been written.
