Crystal-clear and truly beautiful. Love found in nature means sparkling consciousness. Loneliness and self-created mind prisons are overcome. Franz

Regis;

As delicately precise as a pas de deux in Swan Lake. Wonderful imagery, especially the silent swimming of lofty evergreens. Imagery of reflected images. Very creative, terrific observation.

As you can probably tell, I liked this very much.
