Hi Natalie, thanks for the read and thoughtful note. I too find myself going to formula now and then and those never find their way off my computer. You might read some later Mary Oliver, she had a wonderful way of getting the message in at the last few lines. And I have learned that if the theme is strong you really don't need to hit them again hard at the end, the message itself should carry the entire work. I like the way you are thinking, it always leads to growth. Thom
