7074 Catalyst of Touch 30 June 2008
When two people touch, walking on the beach Or picking up a lost ball, forever a word, a look, an exchange
They touched for a reason, that often reason cannot explain The voice of feeling, a void blind, windows in a apple sensed brain

Monica's book, the ups and downs of being round, is a talented piece of work that is full of Charisma and Reality. I recommend it to anyone and everyone; big and small alike.
