"Some vistas are shrouded in darkness, others downright embody it. Yet much as color is not always a harbinger of goodness, the absence thereof need neither be an ill omen. Walking upon an isle such as this, I would feel solemn and somber, and would feel moved to recall those I have lost, not just in sadness, but in the warmth of my memories of them in the fulness of their lives, knowing that the world outside my mind respectfully declines to tempt my focus with bright distractions."
