Great write, David. People lust for golden calves when material things are not those which should be desired. Lasaad is right about your chosen title.

Heya Jenna, it's strange I am not attracted to gold jewellery, but I'd love to get my hands on a few of them big gold bars they have in Fort Knox, although I have a feeling life might turn to gilded ash, pretty soon afterwards, lol cheers David

David, you've made an original Diamente: Gold and Dust, and I like the title as well (gilded ashes). Best wishes for a win.

Thank you Lasaad I started off with something completely different in mind, strange the way these Diamentes work, cheers David
