The certainty that she would find what it was she sought just slipped away, until one night she knew there was nothing, no one waiting for her.

It's special, grandparents and grandchldren. So much simpler. Is it always so, I wonder? I think perhaps it is.

It is a cruel, ironical art, photography. The dragging of captured moments into the future moments that should have been allowed to be evaporate into the past should exist only in memories, glimpsed through the fog of events that came after.

While I wasn't certain how I felt about spiritualists, I was certain enough about the type of people who were drawn to them. Only people unhappy in the present seek to know the future.
