Great poetic pondering, dear Yann. Whatever we may perceive about distances ... in the end we have to consider that everyone and everything is connected. Much enjoyed your words. Love, Margherita |

very imaginative comparisons of distances..I like most: "from clock to silence", "from daytime to night table" |
