Thank you - your post painted a vivid picture that made me smile. I could almost hear you singing and feel the happiness. There is far more of authentic courage and wisdom in your singing than you perhaps think.
May that voice not fade. May it grow clearer and louder. May you rise and embrace the voice on the bright surface.
