Orphan’s lament! Kidding: just the title of a song by Huun Huur Tu, a band of throat singers from Tuva!:) Thanks for stopping on my blog and for your thought-provoking comments. Happy New Year!:)
I would love to hear throat singers from Tuva, some day.
This one was a bit of a risk. At the risk of sounding foolish or forced, “Orphaned” is actually the word that hit me when that wind slammed into my face. There is a reason, perhaps a buried reason. It has something to do with vulnerability.
Forsaken, forgotten, and abandoned were other options that occurred to me later, but I decided to stick with the first, for better or worse.
Thanks browsing my blog. I hope you find some that interest you.
I wondered about “orphaned”, one does tend to take a word like that more literally.
‘orphaned’ is the perfect word here. You couldn’t have said it better.
Good to find your blog. Bookmarking you..
Got here from Borut’s.

I’m not a poet, but I like the word orphaned. I think it’s perfect.
Borut – Thanks for the video link. I loved it and added it to the original post.
Adriaan – I meant it literally. I felt orphaned! Not sure why.
gautami tripathy – Thanks for your reaction. I look forward to browsing both your blogs!
Geri – No need to be a poet. It’s a human thing. Thanks.
