  From the vastness of lofty and airy rhelms - whose encompassing yet
  descerning vision must span the entire globe - an intonation broad
  and deep as thunder yet light as lilt of Lilipute's laughter most
  gently decends from on high as like a subconciously percieved etheric
  vapor - sensed but barely realised -> Grace in text form..

           I'm SURE I'll love it - but I'll have to hold off my
           'review' untill I've seen it ;] - No way I can hold
           off my anticipation though !8]

           I feel badly now about my choppy sentense structure
           and purely weetern phrases. - Looks like he got the
           gyst of it, but I'm sorry he had to work to figure
           it out.

           I'm very touched myself that he was moved by my words(!)

             Geeze NW - I am really OVERwhelmed - Though I often feel
             like I'm dancing on egg shells I DO enjoy writing these.
             I don't know what to do with all these good feelings -
             (except mebbe putting them into my next effort) :]

             Thanks so much for forwarding these - and for your very
             kind and generous encouragement - an absolute delight !8D
             ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Best Wishes ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
