I could not render the cadences of the magical words of the original. <br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />Sumana Royhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333363799083094084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5777854594703553858.post-18528697045304764822016-05-12T19:33:10.885-07:002016-05-12T19:33:10.885-07:00Yes, I think we would do it again for the pure joy...Yes, I think we would do it again for the pure joy!

"the sheer joy<br />of watching tendrils of clouds <br />kiss a mountaintop" really resonated with me - perhaps being surrounded by mountains, as I am, I have been imbued with certain visceral images. I, too, have thoughts about the pact we make for the privilege of being granted a life. Maybe if more of humankind could come to regard it that way ... but (sigh) if only wishing made it so, what a wonderful world it would be.<br /><br />I enjoyed the Parksville shots - love that area ... well, all of the Island, actually.
