the wheel of life

... death is a necessary part of life.

[image derived from here]

but that doesn't detract from the horror that happened seven years ago.
may all innocent lives that perished,
as a result of this dark day
rest in peace

... on a much smaller scale,
on a more personal note,

the wheel of life continues to turn,

and now an elder of the family has passed away:

may you too rest in peace, grand-aunt G.
[1924 - Sept 2008]

... but there is no need to be sad ...

the wheel of life may take, as is its nature...

... but it also gives,
as is its nature
too

presenting, at long last,

my new niece "Rosie"

[look at the hero-worship in her eyes...
methinks she's going to grow up to be a daddy's girl!]
