I am thankful for the internet in making it possible to "travel" to other parts of the world and see the lovely images from the pictures of other travelers. Love the read and quote!!!

The Islamists frighten me and their lack of regard for life, much less children, make my heart cold. Excellent senryu at the end of this. Wish I could send you my crossbow. We may end up needing it yet. But I am glad the digital age has made your dreams of photography come true.

Belief is comfort because it's ours personally and we hold it dear. What is absolute truth then? It can be different for everyone. Maybe it's so rare because it doesn't really exist.
