As you know Christopher, this soup has many diverse flavours, it’s all about what’s in the eye of the beholder at any given time, but your comment alone makes it worth the while,

Totally and Utterly. My only hope is David i am not the only 1 and far more like minded brethren are to pass comment. Because if this is not deserving of soul searching. Then what is

I had a feeling you would totally get this one Christopher, When something is missing in our lives no matter how much we try, it cannot be forced or made happen, probably because it doesn’t exist in that moment, thank you so much for that kind comment, cheers David
