[stylist] history and religion

[Eve Sanchez]

That was really beautiful. I have never heard of this method, Spoon

breaks have significance? It seems to be a visual form of poetry along
with the music to the heart. Thank you so much for sharing this and we
will not tell anyone. Good luck on your contest. Eve
