Sulis Minerva's Temple Spa At Bath

Offer
Offer a donative
Offer your prayers
Look into the steaming water and know she cares

Gaze
Gaze at the golden image
Gaze at the beautiful face
Close your eyes and feel her in the holy place

As a man thinks so is he, is brought to mind byt your great rendition of my contest theme, Jack. Yes the holy place is the essence from which one will feel the power of belief within one's self. Congratulations on a great rendition of my contest theme and your fourth place. Agape, Moses

Yes God encompasses both male and female and may be as easily seen in the face of woman as in the face of man, in the beauty of a tree, or a small tree frog! All the earth and sky and all under it holy. Fine, fine write. Congrad's on your win. Light & Love
