I love this thoughtful little piece. So much pathos in terse little statements, and loved the last line, "heavenly scheme." Congrats on 8th place out of 61 entries! This was outstanding.

Thank you Danny. Life is not too bad, although since our paths last crossed I had some health issues which are now more or less resolved. Hope you are keeping well, my friend. Regards // paul
