Sometimes very bad things happen to very good people. In the last few weeks tragedy has visited two special friends. More than anything I want to make things right, but I can’t. I want to extinguish their scalding pain and replace it with the warmth of hope. I want to mend their crushed hearts and to salve their savaged souls. I want to syphon away their anguish and let them sleep the sleep of the content. I want to show them that there is goodness in this cruel world. Without delay; it cannot happen soon enough. But I don’t have these powers, all I have is impotence and frustration. So I do what little I can. I send them love and strength. And I offer them a picture of starlings murmuring in the sunset.

Well, they have one thing that a lot of people don’t have and that is a true friend who cares. 🙂

February, like August, can be a wicked month but starlings against an evening sky do it for me every time. Thank-you.

This picture is enough to lift anyone’s heart, I’m sure your friends will appreciate it, but not as much as your friendship.

(Still catching up…). It’s been that kind of winter/early spring for me, too. Deaths, disorders and declines. Sigh. It does help to lift up your head and see the amazing life of the sky. Thanks.
