  9. Suicide's not much of a talisman though? But certainly life is impermanent...

  10. I like that you were able to connect ancient symbolism to a modern story that makes the saga and the insight relevant through out the ages. Beautiful construction and expression on your part, Rel. Very fluid and I thank you for sharing this.
