in some faithful heart are your memories enshrined

My friend's friend is gone, and I am crying, tears running down my neck and soaking into my clothes and my collie.

"We who choose to surround ourselves with lives even more temporary than our own, live within a fragile circle, easily and often breached.
Unable to accept its awful gaps, we still would live no other way.
We cherish memory as the only certain immortality,
never fully understanding the necessary plan."

(Irving Townsend)


Love you.

Evolving up from little snails

Someone started a thread yesterday on TrekBBS for posting pictures of ourselves when young - well, I knew my sister E had scanned a bunch of old family pictures for Mum last year, so I IM'd her to send me some.

( cut for Black Dog in her puppy days, plus one picture of a more adult nature and a little bit of rantage )
