As if alone...

We wish for distant
hands.

Yet even walls are embraced
by the space they seek to
part.

We stand as walls before
the night...

Caressed on every
side.

Dear Eric, you have a rare cosmic perception of what it means to be ONE with All there is.

Stunningly beautiful and as comforting as a warm embrace.

Loving you,
