| Posted by Gregory O'Neill on 02/20/08 at 07:47 PM I appreciate this very much. If only we could actually "sew-up" this torn fabric of life we seem to too easily tear, cut and rip. Delighted. Thanks. |

'Chain Stitch' is absolutely filled with heartfelt emotions. The way you express them is so sincere. This is an exceptional piece of work. I can't see the picture, but I'm sure that it enhances your thoughts. |
