offering solace – never alone in the midst of ferocious gales,
even trees lean on other trees.

Pardon me Afzal. You are welcome! Thank you for taking out your precious time to visit my blog.
I am from Pakistan. If I may ask, Where are you from? Your name is common here so it got me thinking if you are based in the same country as well.
