I read it and it made me cry so I decided to slice and dice and see what came up. I love it in its new version, I molded a little bit by adding words, but it was less than five that I added... and I made it all into a piece of word-art. Love this concept. Love how it felt divine to choose the fragments "at random"... ha.

I really didn't see how this exercise would produce me, but it definitely did. Now I can't wait to run it up the RWP flagpole and see who looks up.
