Another of Samye Ling's beautiful statues photographed in the pitch dark! Very tricky to do considering that I had to focus and illuminate the subject with only a hand-held torch. The final image is not exactly as I wanted it, but getting close. Next time I'll try to achieve better focus and a field of stars behind his head ...... Tropical Sunset

It's pleasant to look back at this archive image on a freezing Scottish day. Reed Hall by night

We think we get over things. We don’t get over things. Or say, we get over the measles but not a broken heart. We need to make that distinction. The things that become part of our experience never become less a part of our experience. How can I say it? The way to “get over” a life is to die. Short of that, you move with it, let the pain be pain, not in the hope that it will vanish but in the faith that it will fit in, find its place in the shape of things and be then not any less pain but true to form. Because anything natural has an inherent shape and will flow towards it. And a life is as natural as a leaf. That’s what we’re looking for: not the end of a thing but the shape of it. Wisdom is seeing the shape of your life without obliterating (getting over) a single instant of it. Albert Huffstickler, The Cure
