they died, had trees to hang their hope

so, i found a great something corporate picture on the 'i can read' tumblr that i always steal images/messages off of for my blog (see the last, i don't know, dozen entries or so) and matt asked for a bigger image, which i couldn't find.


my first instinct was, oh, i will just put together something almost identical on photoshop with one of my cloud pictures and then i stopped in my tracks. i keep forgetting that all of my photos, for the most part, are gone. i have greece, a good number of pictures from 2007 (pre-dslr) and then what i have taken in the last ten days or so. that's it. ironically, all of 2008 is gone. it is like all of the moments, the memory, the beauty is gone. maybe if i let go of the good things i will be more able to let go of the bad as well. now, virtually, all of 2008 is gone. maybe that is not such a bad thing after all.
