Whatever be the situation, optimism and faith in yourself will keep you in good stead- till the very end.
Richard, this indeed is mystical. I keep thinking about the Damoclean sword, and now you have its danger muted by the golden thread. There is so much between thread and fibre and precious things. Now I think of clouds and the silver linings. This goes to myfavourites.
I am greatly humbled, M.J. Thank you for your continued support and encouragement!

A couple of things come to mind with this one, Richard. To your mention of dread, from 1 John, Perfect love casts out all fear. And to Found before dead, from Jesus’ prayer in John 17, to know thee () is eternal life. Be blessed! -Glen
