To my dear newfound friend, In common are we “contemplatives”; -quenching our daily thirsts with the truths of scripture, the posthumous musings of sages and poets, and the silent prayers for peace, comfort, and love. We close our eyes and travel to another place in time, in space, and in spirit. For those moments when our eyes must open, and we must carry along this baggage of skin and bone, and the burdens of being human, you have become the living rushing waterfall I visit to quench my thirst for validation, inspiration, and spiritual reconciliation with this life, through this body, in this time, at this place! Gratias Deo carus audeas !Tuus uero,mm
