That is what art is supposed to do, true expression of life and it's innate beauty should capture us, leave our souls falling into it, square pegs into square holes, round pegs into round holes. Everything falls into place at once and we can see the mirror image of our own love, and hate, and fear, and joy, and sadness. The best of it really steals my words away, leaving me unable to share it. I envy you for that, because you have done that so incredibly well here.....
