Still, I like how you'd willing to settle for an earthly paradise. Maybe I'm too oldschool to ever really want to be part of things of the sky. There's happiness to be had in this thin skin of Earth's crust, with life-giving light coming from above and equally sustaining materials from the ground below. The sky goes on forever. What we have here is so much rarer.lostlandscape (James)http://soenyun.com/Blognoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20141337.post-40542709793946673492010-02-01T21:49:51.233-05:002010-02-01T21:49:51.233-05:00Ester,

I remember turning my car lights off late at night after a big snow and it was an amazing sight. Blue everywhere.
