A Lovely Light...

A very sad day. I attended the funeral of a 20 year old, gone suddenly and way too soon. Hundreds of mourners stood beside the graveside under slate grey skies and rain. Such grief. Too much to bear. I spent a lot of time looking at these trees for solace.

"My candle burns at both ends
It will not last the night;
But ah my foes and oh my friends
It gives a lovely light."
Edna St Vincent Millay
