Cakes of clay become our shell
Within we are formed

    Hi James it is always a treat to read your stuff and soooo much meaning in so few words is an amazing talent of yours. You always lift my spirits with your work and your heartfelt comments. I think some people are put here to help others learn more about themselves and you are that person for many people. Thanks…Deb
