This life of ours would not cause you sorrow
if you thought of it as like
the mountain cherry blossoms
which bloom and fade in a day.

Murasaki Shikibu

  7. oh my beautiful friend Roxana what extravagant beauty in these photos and even though this is may 14 2008
    it is healing now in march 2011 to remember all the beauty held once by the victims and that their life like all lives would bloom and fade away.
