This is an excellent clarity pyramid, Eve. [At first I was going to write about a cross, too, but got stuck on a technicality. My father gave me a cross, one of several he made during the war out of enemy fighter cockpit windows; it's non-breakable material.] #7 Warm regards // paul

oh, so you are Catholic! I probably knew that but I forget everything. I do not envy Nette choosing a winner out of so many good poems like this one. by the way, I am seeing my son's family this holiday weekend. In case you don't see me around, dear!
