What if I had done this and not that? But then, our lives develop, we experience so many joys that would never have happened otherwise, and then the pains become less noticeable in retrospect. And I love how art surprises even the creators with these little gems, like your cross-tree :-) Olivia Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13787218597949074958noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-79819274521182245522016-01-04T20:09:35.090+01:002016-01-04T20:09:35.090+01:00And without knowing it.... :)And without knowing it.... :)Ellenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02617686222764658629noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-729664573014711752016-01-04T17:49:19.401+01:002016-01-04T17:49:19.401+01:00"but its shape gives its purpose away in the ..."but its shape gives its purpose away in the end"...such poetry here and the deepest of teachings...the shape of our own hearts revealing our purpose long before we've completed it.Rosehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13895509286985960682noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158245992923239671.post-64925185566729490722016-01-04T16:28:36.858+01:002016-01-04T16:28:36.858+01:00Thank you so much Rose!

Your post made me cry Ellen, so moving :)<br /><br />Would I choose this life again, yes! Does that make it easier to bear, not always... I just found a site called Refuge in Grief, and think maybe I am finally ready to start dealing with my own pain and loss.
