This is lovely, Andrea. It draws an awesome scene! Being kaleidoscopic gives it more depth and colour. Thanks for your kind comments. There'd been some lama drama...the animal was the feature of an email. The don't always have the best manners.:) Wishing you the best! Mikki

Andrea, thank you for your nice comments on mine. As far as putting you to shame; no, just trying to keep up with you.... I love the Cosmos refered to as a kaleidoscope, very descriptive, great write, I enjoyed. I wish you success in the contest. Caryl

Nice! interesting coincidence that we have both used the word 'kaleidoscope' today! i especially love the last part... 'take that leap of faith'. it is one bit of advice that's like a resounding cymbal in my mind. >hey Andrea, thanx so much for ur encouraging words, it feels so nice to be noticed and appreciated. >wish u a wonderful night! it's almost 9pm here in Kenya.

Great work, Andrea! I especially like the last line. This will be a tough contest to judge -- all of the entries I've read are so good. Wishing you success. Love, Carolyn

Oh, good write, but I'll leave the leap to the astronauts. I know - we're searching for more than stars. Love, Dave

like this very much Andrea...especially the last line...the leap of faith:) taking that leap of faith when really what is out there is truly unknown i.e. the result. Not always easy to take that leap...
