Thank you! 🙂
I was just wondering how I can find your blog (if you have one), because your name does not link there and your gravatar profile does not include any links either.

You’re welcome. And thanks for letting me know that my name was a dead end. I hadn’t realised. I should have commented using my Twitter account, I usually do.
I’ll have to update my Gravatar.
Here’s the link for now (assuming this works. *crosses fingers 🙂 Thanks for asking! http://mentalillnessgodandme.blogspot.co.uk/

I agree with all the previous comments. Very evocative. I would actually like to hear it spoken and performed in low light. It would be very powerful.
Hope you have a great weekend. I can’t believe another week has passed. My kids start school next Thursday. That could have been another compassion post…Forgive Mummy…she means well.

Oh Rowena, thank you! Yes time truly flies at the moment, but not at a slow speed…
I have been thinking of recording a few posts (especially short stories) and to start doing a podcast. I guess if I do that, this post will be featured. Ah you are motivating me for another project here 🙂
