The questions I asked the Chief are not something that he would tell Meghan about.

Well, the hardest work I did today was a Yoga class. Picture me in three legged doggie pose with leg raised as far it would go behind me and my mind in terror that either I would fart and disgrace myself or not be able to get up.

You know me, Morses. I love you all dearly and hope this bit of humor brightens the way a bit.

Namaste,
Mary

To Meghan and family,

As a number of posts have indicated, some folks watching this thread closely do not post every time they look in. The following is an example of what I know a lot of us mean by "watching closely." Thanks are not needed-- just, wrap yourself in the knowledge of the energy this little "Mudcat lens" directs your way.

With me, it may mean that as I go through the 3 hours of my (newly diabetic) husband's Good Friday services trying to make sure he eats when he needs to, leading a meditation of my own during the service and recording the service for an intern, plus the 2 added hours to re-set the church for the Easter Vigil while a homeless drop-in scares the heck out of the volunteers working hard after their 3-hour service participation, while I teach the volunteers about how helping is done and help the parish secretary get help for the homeless lady-- I'm also thinking of [praying for/sending good thoughts for/sending love and concern to family of/sending gratitude and strength for law enforcement about] Ezra. And Meghan. And Becca. And Kendall. Knowing that no matter how tired my legs, my feet, my mind-- THEY are tired beyond measure.

It means that while I have a zillion things to do to get ready for a Monday biztrip, and another zillion things to do, tomorrow, instead of trip prep, to stand with folks and hour away in THEIR crisis, I'll also be thinking about Ezra.

It means that during the travel for the biztrip.... the biz meetings... setting up the camper to be near the meetings..... etcetcetc.... at the Racism Commission meeting that will end the bizweek's biztrip..... Ezra.

No matter what I am doing-- because I know that his family does not have the luxury nor has yet given themselves, probably, permission, to think of anything else, waking or sleeping, while they also have routine daycrap to deal with.

You folks don't get a break-- neither do we who are standing with you.

Ezra's story has touched so many people all over the world. Here in Maine, I have several women who keep asking me for news - they are terrified every time one of their sons goes out the door. And they pray every day for Meghan. My days start and end with a prayer for Ezra's return. It has to happen. It will happen.

Captain, if he has news it will go to Meghan first. There are very few times when things are completely out of our control. When it happens, it is hard and frustrating. Keep Meghan close and safe. For now, that is all you can do.
SINS, who has waited.

I spoke with Deb, Becca's sister, yesterday. The family is following this thread and grateful for the support.There is nothing new from the police. And so they wait.
What a hard way to learn patience.
I pray every day for Ezra's return.

Becca, Kendall, Jacqui,

I've been following this thread since I came late to it a few days ago. I can add nothing to what others have said, except that there's another person out here keeping you in his thoughts and hopes.

Its snowing cherry blossoms here in DC. A hard freeze is expected tonight. There were not enough bees or insects to pollinate the pear trees. The magnolia trees will be done before they fully bloom.
Hyacinths fill the air.
Good thoughts of a better year ahead are with you.

There's this simple little lens called Mudcat where all the pain in the universe intersects with all the goodness in the universe. That lens is aimed at Ezra's people, beaming love and strength into the heart of grief, worry, and heartache.
