Reincarnation

It may be just wishful thinking, but more and more, Fiorella is beginning to believe in some kind of multiple lives.  Wouldn't it be wonderful if all those people killed in Iraq and Afghanistan, in riots and random violence all over the world, would have another chance?  Wouldn't it be wonderful if the essential Fio could live again, but do better the next time around?

Evening News

Fiorella likes to live in her own little bubble.  She wants all of her friends and family in there too--in fact, their happiness is essential to her happiness.  Thus  when world events rip open her protective membrane, she is devastated.

Husband turned on the evening news yesterday and Fiorella started crying.  The riots in Missouri, the problems in Iraq--why can't people be kind to each other?
