  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.

  I’m not a poet, but I like the word orphaned. I think it’s perfect.
