A lot of sunsets since that picture was snapped by some professional photographer - "next!"<br /><br />The cycles we go through as humans can be inconceivably painful.

It's ok if you feel melancholy some days. You have a right.<br /><br />Do take care.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4587634783902486718.post-88117716673995068232009-11-10T09:01:41.626-05:002009-11-10T09:01:41.626-05:00This comment has been removed by the author.Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.com
