What of the Wanderers by Jennifer Russ
What of the wanderers?
You know who I'm talking about.
The ones who start as leaves upon the oaks
And ride the wind forever, refusing to hold on too tightly to their roots.
Tossed and mangled by the elements, it is a rough journey to the very last.
You see, they die quickly, those wanderers, but oh!
The sights they observe along the way.
Jennifer Russ is the author of Whitewallsville, the story of a successful middle-aged man that encounters a life crisis, attemps suicide, and becomes a patient in a mental institution, where he once again learns how to choose life.

Art as a means to help heal
Many people reached out to the Newtown victims last December, but this Joliet pastor is doing more than praying and offering support. He's creating and displaying tangile artwork to facilitate healing, and he's encouraging others to make art, too.
