Basic Elements

Prompt: "Life was reduced to it's 4 basic elements: air, food, drink and a good friend." Sue Grafton What are your views on this?

=========

Since a good percentage of the earth’s population cannot have those four elements and a certain percentage of the folks do have the first three but not the last one, ‘a good friend,’ the world has a long way to go for supplying all the basics to everyone.

Speaking for myself, however, those basic elements I appreciate very much, of course, but without the arts, music, and writing, my alphabet isn’t complete, but then, Sue Grafton’s wasn’t either, although she almost made it with Y is for Yesterday.

I’ll miss Sue Grafton. There was a time when I was following Kinsey Millhone’s exploits as if her shadow. Too bad for the letter Z. This is what happens when you are the last one waiting on line.
