Can spend hours observing the insect world, spiders weaving their webs & wrapping they prey up, ants walking way beyond the nest for one particular leaf, piece of straw, etc. (why not the ones closer to home ?). I don't need answers, living the Miracle takes me beyond thought, time into the world of Magic. Congratulations with your prizes & recognition: WELL DESERVED !!! Happy Day, Susan -

5-7-5 An Introspection In Seventeen Syllables Moments I Have Lived
I have found it rather amazing that an existence of time can be expressed in such few words and yet provide a specific and definitive explanation.

Great reviews:
Raw with emotion - love and pain, regrets and hope, truth and tragedy. It touched me at points, made me choke up.
