"A chord, stronger or weaker, is snapped asunder in every parting, and time's busy fingers are not practiced in re-splicing broken ties. Meet again you may; will it be in the same way? With the same sympathies? With the same sentiments? Will the souls, hurrying on in diverse paths, unite once more, as if the interval had been a dream? Rarely, rarely!" -- Edward George Earle Bulwer-Lytton

it's Holy week... continuing the soul trek...

*** the east neighbor's narra blooms anew... telling me that easter is near... usually the bloom just in time for holy week but this one bloomed earlier than the one from the west neighbor... a welcome sight... :)

"My favorite weather is bird-chirping weather." -- Terri Guillemets

*** bought this from a ambulant vendor... you put a bit of water and then blow on it and it's like you have a dozen birds chirping around you... (not that there are no birds where i am... this just makes them seem closer) it's a current fave anti-stress tool... :)
