Solace For The Broken Hearted - (enlarge)

Broken Hearts? I am sure they exist every moment of every day.

There are so many reasons why someone may be suffering from

a 'broken heart' - Physical or Emotional. I think it is one of the 'first

quick acts of the Human Heart' to seek solace, comfort, and for

some, 'distraction' from this human condition. Hopefully, solace is

found over time. Hopefully, there are those who do not 'drown' in

this 'physical and emotional' sorrow. No one should be disabled by

a 'broken heart'. We do have the ability to mend, seek help, and

even reach out to others - go beyond our own sorrow to help others

in need. Perhaps this is one way to 'journey' towards healing.

(comments and visits always welcome with thanks, Gail :)

Very creative.  One of your best.  I love what you wrote too!

Thanks so much Kathy. So many times these compositions are 'self help' :)

I is so nice to hear from you!! and especially nice that you enjoyed this composition.  I see you are enjoying your Soccer - it must be very exciting to go to the Live Games!!

Gail,

Very nice post-processing and as usual you are very creative.  Many thanks for commenting on my owl and deer photos.  The baby owls should be able to fly in about another week.  

Just lovely Gail, one of your best. Perfectly arranged.

Hello my smiling friend. Any words expressed on my pages are always done with 'smiles' when it comes to you. Hope to write soon, Gail

Sincere thanks for those lovely words of critique.  I always enjoy hearing what you think of my work.

Hello Colin! When you enjoy one of my compositions, I feel very encouraged!!

Your beautiful comment was lovely to hear.  I am so pleased you enjoyed this one.

Many thanks for your positive remarks about this composition Bill. It almost seems sad that the Baby Owls will be flying soon - only because they will be out of sight for you to take images of.

It's a lovely image Gail. I like your "forward" to it too. It sets the mood nicely.

I think this is one of your best Gail. It "oozes" emotion! I love the color tones and the soft focus. Just marvelous!

It is so good to get your positive feedback Warren. Your encouragement goes a long way.

Thanks so much for your 'take' on this one....glad to hear you found it to your liking, appreciate the encouragement.

thank you for your visits Colin. I do appreciate hearing what you think.  Glad it touched a 'chord'.
