Lights on the weeping cherry tree

We planted an ornamental weeping cherry tree several years ago and whilst it loses its leaves in winter, it excels the rest of the year particularly in spring when it is covered in pink/white blossom. It is beautiful and much admired by neighbours and visitors. For the last few years we have crowned our tree with Xmas lights over the Xmas period which lights up our small plot in our vast world. Perhaps this is philosophical. God weeping at the state of our world and thereby sending Jesus as the light. Cherry trees mean "the ripening of friendship." Perhaps this is symbolic since Jesus was a friend to everyone. Peace and joy be with you.

Unpublished letters and broken hearts

What happens to all those letters which are not published in magazines and newspapers because the editor decides they are unsuitable or they haven't the space or they are just inundated with too much material. Are they sent to the rubbish tip? How sad? And what of the writers? How do they overcome their disappointment or broken hearts? A loss however you look at it.
