Thank you a heap. One day I stumbled on this book in a huge NYC

bookstore, wandering through the relgion section in search of

something else. I found. I saw. I bought. Nothing was ever the

same.

 

I love this book. And I bookmarked the url you just posted so fast

it'd make your head spin....s
