oh, Gilbert, how wonderful that your eyes passed over my blog and recently. I feel connected, connection. Please don't go too far away, don't stay away.
With your mind you have transformed lives, you've transformed mine with encounters we've had in recent months.
Have you been run out of town by someone with a bigger gun, a faster draw?
God's gun is quickest, may He keep us.

Obie,
I knew you would be blogging. The internet needs to hear your words. You know I am your biggest fan! (ceiling, stand-up, oscillating)
Best...
Krissi,
so many thanks for visiting. I love how you never back down from "big" words: "oscillating".
You go right up to them. You go right through them. You are my champion and champion for so many who hear you take on language and win always.
Please, Miss Modest, continue to inspire.
Many thanks for loyalty declared as well as demonstrated.
