a touch of color
fragile threads
Posted by e. (New York, NY, United States) on 5 December 2007 in Miscellaneous.
Life is made up of thousands of fragile threads holding it together. Whether it's the thin cobweb, or muscle sinews, or the small lines of force that keep everyone one of us together and on this earth, or the rays of sun itself. All of these work towards making us who and what we are. Cherish them.

The threads of light and cobwebs mirror life and the angles that one can see life as it unfolds.

The beams of light seem to be a part of the web. Very very nice.

Wow, you expressed a feeling I also have but couldn't express in words that well! The picture is at first glance a bit misty, but watching it a second time you see its beauty, especially with the words in mind.
