my gorgeous sister in-law passed away yesterday. unexpected, i still can't believe it- i am in shock and devastated. i feel so sad for my lovely brother in-law and his beautiful children. i know she loved them so much. donna was the most beautiful, bubbly person and a laugh you will never forget. who will i gossip with now? i have memories that no one can steal... i miss you donna.  ♥

she...

in spite of all....

"in spite of all evidence that life is discontinuous, a valley of rifts, and that random chance plays a great part in our fates, we go on believing in the continuity of things, in causation and meaning. but we live on a broken mirror, and fresh cracks appear in its surface every day."

if what you did yesterday seems big,

you haven’t done anything today.

it's hard to believe that these... are actually paintings. carly waito's
small oil paintings indulge a lifelong fascination with the natural world.
her  blog is full of inspiration and loveliness.

....

my tears are like the quiet drift

of petals from some magic rose;

and all my grief lows from the rift

of unremembered skies and snows.

i think, that if i touched the earth,

it would crumble;

it is so sad and beautiful,

so tremendously like a dream.
