Reference note:
Pool of Tears, stands testimony to the 'Presence of Absence' and the 'Absence of Presence'.

We unearth stories- by fragments- each appearing, on different levels, to have their own significance - our imaginations in quest of the bigger picture. But, as more fragments come to surface, we are sometimes surprised at the meta-narrative which emerges.
