    thank you for the perfect mexican pink, consoling haiku and the ever present guardian of hearts.
    finally, computer woes are behind me and i can enjoy each visit leaving a love note in my wake.

    How perfectly the carnations match the shocking pink wall.
    And the faded Madonna on the prayer candle shines on
    beside the death-way.
