Life's a bit tumultuous

[heliopausa]

Oh my - the up and the down and the up.  Life can get a bit tumultuous at times. 

The past eighteen hours have seen news of one friend free and I think safely back in his own country.  (was not being held here), then news of another friend in Vanuatu not located,  missing,and obviously fears for him - he was in the Cyclone Pam turmoil, and now - maybe ten minutes ago - news that he's been found

Have something little and calm, to hint that the good keeps on, despite the negatives:  new life in a dead tree.
