our dancing eyes meet

    I simply adore this Ms. Holly, spectacular in that you say so so much in very little words. You continue to be my hero, as always. Love, Tim

    That was soo captivating. i once did an essay on shakespeare about how hes remembered 500 years later becuase of his ability to use such few words to describe a character - his personality, mood, morals - and you definitely have the gift to use a few words, but make the meaning powerful. excellent job.
