Naut, yes...
No matter how fine the love is, someone must always leave first, someone must always be left.  The only way around this is to be strong and sufficient alone... to have some way to live with the reality of it.  Some of us get such strength through spiritual beliefs, some from philosophy, some from shutting down.  The worst is to give up on loving, to evade that inevitable test.

Ciel
I have read this several times, yet never left a comment - simply because there's too much to be said, because it stirs up too much also in my own life, of goodbyes endured...and it strikes me that the lives of all of us are like that - any time you come to love something or someone, you plant the seed for a loss or a goodbye...

The sadness of the world seems never-ending and truly consuming Ciel. I understand those feelings very well. Thank you very much for your visit and I read your few entries too and found them very captivating.

Too deep for one wee soul to endure. I believe the tragedy in Haiti is
wearing us all down..the horror the waiting and the helplessness we are experiencing.It colors all our days. I am trying hard to write cheerful to lift the spirits of those who read me.
