Lovely bit of prose :) I love the idea of In the halls of time we stand in tribute to our Spirits.

Why thank you! Yeah, I liked that idea too – it came all at once, like those things sometimes do…I didn’t even know what it meant at first, but it was so insistent I wrote it down as the first line. I liked where it ended up going!

Wow, I love this! It so simply states a complex concept and I especially like the encouraging spirit of the piece.
Dawn Lamond | January 2, 2013 at 8:43 pm
Thank you! :D I was really surprised at how much fit in there, myself! I’m liking the 33 words cap I put on myself, just to see if I could do it…stretches.
Reminds me of the quote from Poe, something along the lines of, “I’m sorry this letter’s so long – I didn’t have time to make it shorter.”
