Lucy and Sunrise, thank you both very much for these lovely comments.
Abdur, I love what you’ve said here: a child of God, laughing in the sunshine, eating ice cream! That’s perfect. (And you may not be very old but I think you are very knowledgeable, in the best way!)

Peace Tess,

Allah! Beautiful pictures. They remind me of the true purpose of life: love.

Though I’m not very old, nor very knowledgeable, these photos make me yearn to be what I know in truth I should always be – a child of God, laughing in the sunshine, eating ice cream!

Thank you for these photos. They mean a lot.

Tess, wanting to catch up with you and others I’ve missed reading the last weeks, I planned to scan through quickly…..thinking maybe I would just view the video on this post, I was captured immediately by the beauty of individuality of the angels’ performance. What a beautiful, beautiful film and now, of course, I’ve read your post and so sorry I did not miss it!! Philip must have known you were special also.

Rima: we are indeed lucky!
EmJayDee: I think that’s a good way of putting it – “the lifetime resurfaces”. Thank you.

Thanks for your post. It is interesting the perspective that comes with time after a bereavement. I’m finding something a bit similar with my Mum who died in March. It’s as if the recent difficulties fade and the lifetime resurfaces. Philip looks to have been a great brother.

Ahh, Tess, these are such lovely pictures…
We are lucky people to have shared our childhoods with these angels..
Glad to be part of an internet serendipity like this

Thank you all so much.
Tracy: welcome, and thank you for commenting.
AB: hugs back, the loss of your mother in this way must have been devastating.
Rebecca: I’m really glad to have discovered sigur ros, I’ve listened to quite a lot of their stuff the last few evenings.
Elaine: Blush
Barefoot: “the recesses of her mind” – I hope the experience was better for her than for you. Hug back.
Barney: this is such a sad story. I can understand it though, with your father being so ill and as you say, the advice then was different. But it is sad that you were never able to have any relationship with your brother. What you say about “the luminous inner reality” is absolutely true.
