Brian, you'll never be a politician. You say so much with few words. God Bless. Vince

What you do in creating art in response to art works brilliantly Brian. I'm not a religious person but I understand the need for faith and I like how you maintain that feeling, and express it so well. Few could get away with that. Few have the talent; God-given or otherwise. A strong spiritual piece that finds its way with words.
