The crop shots have a nice feel I think, a word or two but the essence shines thru.<br /><br />Louise - yes indeed! Sometimes we are own biggest limiters, these words can re wind and encourage us to think or be otherwise. I like watching people stop and read it - young and old, and most read it allnthe way thru.<br /><br />Thanks Robyn, I like the contrast between strength and steadfastness and delicacy...<br /><br />Jennifer - thank you - the solidity of the timber is encouraging and nurturing I think, with quiet strength. I think it does help folk who stop to read think that it might be possible...<br /><br />N - it is progressing to where it is meant to be I think, and I am so pleased the ink stayed on!!!<br /><br />Brandi - resilience and beauty are part of it's story I think. Thank you for your words, I know that people do stop and read it and I hope it offers them something positive.
