In the haze of the evening sun Let the wind dry your tears Neptune fork, used wisely on the rough waves Everything we fear and everything we hope for - truce to God At some point the darkness must yield to the light The golden edge of the porcelain plates human ignorance - totally worthless However, the bliss of ignorance is an illusion Hindsight blushing in the afterglow illuminated by a light purple hue A serene sense of peace

Anne-Lise, a lot to think about...human thought and what we don't really know or control. The beginning sets the tone as we can use what's given to us to try to have a life with some value. Hopefully, we are lucky enough. I feel lucky to have made it this far!!! Smiles!!!

Beautifully written. There is hope that even in mistakes, we get hindsight as an afterglow. All the best dear Anne. Hugs!

Somehow it all works out, for the best usually. I learned by trial and big-blunder...but I would have learned far less had I not been foolishly daring. Profound write.
