1/4/2010 12:30:12 PM Awake Greetings, moonchild3. Hope you are well! : ) I've revisited your albums once again. I love this album especially. The quote "The only love worthy of a name is unconditional. ~ John Powell " is so true ... really resonates with me, and I love the painting that you've chosen to accompany the quote: one of my absolute favorites! Think I've answered my own question about the moon in revisiting your albums : ). Peace to you. -TM
