Ivana never dances

With misunderstanding fools

Sacred mysteries kept safe

For her special love

You are amazing...my dear... I am touched.... You are such a wonderful friend, Phillip !
...Absolutely adored it. thank you, my dear. "My special love?" hmm ..... I like awareness
and people who live aware and who are less listeners an followers ... but more creators
and who are....more capricious world designers.... yes, that's what I like. when we all stopped this
wanting, buying and collecting possessions who would make the rich richer?
ha ha ha ha Phillip, be well. luv, always.

You certainly met the criteria, but I would not have known what a Dodoitsu is unless you pointed me in the right direction! You never fail to impress Phill...always something new and interesting...no idea what to make of it, but I'm sure it's fantastic!!
Cheery cheers,
Helen :-)
