as each person who is in any way affected
by that situation might view it.

and therefore a historical perspective,
as well from as having the perspective of imagination -
the realm of the what-might-be
inhabited by futurists and science-fiction writers.

whether by blood, by marriage, or by choice -
are delicate treasures.

the beautiful butterflies of your life
will return - or not - as life intends.

However, sometimes a simple symbolic act can help immeasurably
to grant ourselves freedom from the past.
