A sad yet inspiring gem, Iolanda. Whoever this person is they have my admiration and respect...Not so sure I would adapt that well...makes me thankful I can still do such a simple thing as get up out of my chair and walk - Tim

what an excellent presentation of will and hope here-amid the benefits of being able to express oneself I would believe-from a poetess' heart and desire to do so-and painted so colorfully and gently-beautiful! love, christopher :)
