stones and thorns. It is much simpler to wear shoes."

    That's beautiful, D!

    Yet another quote that I'm going to submit to the inspiration book I'm working on.

      I know! He laughs like Butthead from "Beavis and Butthead" - the image comes into my mind every time I hear it!

      An inspiration book, eh? Sounds great - do tell! :)
