Just for a change of pace.

[font color="navy" face="Verdana"]Hadn't seen this in a while, but came across it this morning. It made me tear up a little, both sad and happy.

Forget for a small handful of moments all the other horrors caused by predatory greed and lust for power in the world - and feel the joy we could have in celebrating our simple, common humanity.

About silverweb

What do I snare in my web, you inquire? All sweet things to savor, to hold close and dear; Moonbeams and laughter and lovers' sighs, Sunbeams and daisies and children's smiles. The holes in my web allow the escape Of fears and hurts, jealousies, hate; All loneliness, prejudice, anger, and pain, These pass through, transformed, to the ether again.
