continuing As My Sister Lay Dying.
The Romans liked purple gave it Royal status edged their fine woollen togas with its brilliant colour for which thousands of shellfish died. My sister stirs and opens her dark sunken eyes. Sorry, she says I must have dropped off. She gazes at the crocheted rug and holds the purple yarn between bloodless fingers. You are getting on with it.

Interesting piece you wrote here Laurel. I never gave much thought about the Roman colors and the costly lives of all those shellfish. One can only hope they were used in soups and a part of the Roman diet as well.

Yours in the love of Christ,
