Dark Days

It occurs to me that people can be very cruel, I don't really know why this should surprise me but when the source of the pain is someone close it is sometimes hard to take. It is often difficult to let go of emotions those that are deep rooted but we have to or they would consume us and so it was yesterday.

Events of half a life time ago should not taint the person we are but sometimes it is inevitable. I learned long ago that hate and anger were wasted emotions and wherever possible we should let them go, sometimes a lot easier to say than to actually do. Today was a day I was left blue by events and by some quite hurtful things said.

It is only after I spoke to my friend I realised how right she was that I really had to let it go, to realise it was not something I could control nor something in the circumstances I could ever have changed. Very wise my friend..

There was a grey sky that hung but I liked the contrast it created with the saturated copper tones in this shot, again with the sharpness of the branches in the foreground. Nothing special, the greyness mirroring my feelings really but tomorrow s another day and I know in my heart it will be better. I hope you enjoy the shot
