An alternate, much shorter version - possibly a haiku (or something like it) would make this oh so potent, excellent.<br /><br />Either way, keep up the good writing. :)Steve Isaakhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07162341357622058518noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-4828425633353513272010-12-04T01:51:57.774+11:002010-12-04T01:51:57.774+11:00diggit! perfection is not "out there", ...diggit! perfection is not "out there", but rather within. yep.Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05233108927583810009noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7976656567250803879.post-27838369299445138222010-12-03T18:07:35.676+11:002010-12-03T18:07:35.676+11:00'We're restless and seeking and searching
