Let's talk about life.

There are many days when all the awful things that happen make you sick at heart, when the path before you is so steep you can't bear to look. Not even love can rescue a person from that. Still, enveloped in the twilight coming from the west, there she...

was, watering the plants with her slender, graceful hands, in the midst of a light so sweet it seemed to form a rainbow in the transparent water she poured.

the part where it begins to say, Still, enveloped in the twilight coming from the west.., the narrator is talking about her friend who she admires and looks up to. The narrator finds herself in the position where she has hit rock bottom, but when she sees her friend, she finds that light of hope. she sees that her friend also has gone through so much but she's still alive and happy, and sees that can be her too. she then realizes that it doesn't always have to be like this, that if she is strong, she'll overcome what ails her.

does anyone have a similar experience?! : )

I've been the friend for some of my friends before. But besides that Cant say that I have, im pretty forward with my life.
