Lost in Translation
Looking for meanings in words, images and sounds
Ephemeral
“Ephemerals: That’s what Hub called them; flowers that bloomed and died in a matter of weeks, before the trees leafed out and shaded them. She liked the way the word sounded in her head. I am an ephemeral. It made her feel like something passing and precious.”
– Pamela Todd, The Blind Faith Hotel

Paula, he visto que al pinchar en el título de mi foto no se subraya ni lleva a ninguna página. He debido hacer algo mal. Disculpa que te moleste por ello.

Beautiful and perfect timing. Today is the 4th anniversary of my Mom’s death. It was a very spiritual ending of a life and I feel that she is still with me most of the time. Purple was her favorite color.
