plane crash in the park
i may have been one of the first on the scene
it appears no living thing
was harmed in this accident
but things are just a little bit sadder in the sandbox without it.

It needs to be returned to the sand-pit I reckon.
Best wishes, Pete.

Let’s hope it finds its way back to the proper landing pad, Beth.

You can reach for the stars with your feet on the ground, but you have to risk the crash if you want to fly.

We are often able to bear the big losses in life. We expect them. They are shared experiences. It’s those little things that may only affect you that are difficult. And it is hard to explain to anyone else because you’re the only one who cares.

Doesn’t look too bad and is still usable. A salvagable situation, methinks :)

What a shame to miss that. If we don’t risk to get hurt we refuse to live.

Good that no one was hurt in the crash. Maybe a bit of glue or a new one will somehow appear. One never knows.

Sort of like life – we crash land sometimes, but if we can walk away from it (and keep on going) – we’re AOK.
