There is a sense of emptiness when you have lost something dear or precious to you. Two days ago, I had carelessly dropped my PDA outside my house. Within 10 minutes of driving to work, I realised it and went about to comb the area. You're right, it's gone! All the data that I have painstakingly stored and the GPS disappeared in the wink of a eye! I suffered grief! The pix depicts the emptiness associated with loss. But, when I reflected more deeply, I felt that it cannot be compared to the painful loss of lives due to the disasters in China, Myanmar and more recently, in the Philippines. Have you lost something lately? How are you coping with it? What does it take to empathise with someone who had lost a dear one? The telephone rings !!! Oh dear, a call from my sister-in-law who had lost her mother due to a long term illness.
