This is excellent as you captured so much in just two lines. I didn't know Carolyn but If she is aware of your tribute in the spirit realm she would have to be smiling. A truly beautiful tribute James and a well deserved win! Cheers Anne :-)

Thanks Constance, I need to re-read Carolyn's book about Atlantis, it's amazing! I told her she needed a sequel, but she never got around to it, your 'Doublethink Beliefs' is a Poetry soup Classic All Time! Wow!!!
