Depth perception in this one, Harry. Just being there in the silence of sacredness is prayer in itself; no words need be spoken. Agape, Moses

Sometimes Silence is LOUD! Sometimes Silence speaks volumes. But sometimes Silence is misunderstood. Sometimes it's best to keep still and other times it's best to speak very clearly so you are not misunderstood. The trick is being able to know when to do what. Great job here Harry. I like this one a lot. God Bless, JB

Errrrr, damned if I know, Harry. Come to think of it - and I am thinking hard - You never know what another is thinking while he/she is speaking. Did I get it? A brain buster. Love it. daver
