I was corrected Paul from Malta! Il Paci ... mieghlik (spelling?). When you write - even though you read widely here on PS - your posts are full of quiet passion (Like Jesus, even Abba-Father: God has passion but is never emotionally passionate). I am not blaspheming with praise (John 15 when Jesus called us "friends ... no more servants.") Anil

So now you know why I am called Paul! Many Maltese answer to that name, traditionally a popular name that is related to St Paul of Tarsus who lived on our island for 3 months after being shipwrecked here. ~ Thank you for your lovely comments and friendship. ~ Il-Paci Mieghek (Peace be with you) ~~ paul

There is truly nothing like the allure of a field full of wild flowers. So colorful. Love the pic. Nice to sit there and dream of your one true love. True love comes in time. It's not something we can go out and shop for. One day you'll look up and come face to face with your true love and you will know it when it happens. Great work here. God Bless, JB
