Press Reviews Alone ,freezing , hope dimming considerably with every step , he wandered . The glimpse of an ancient manuscript he viewed as a child provided the only impetus to go on . A thousand years and miles had passed since that one shining moment and now as the realization set in that it had perhaps been just a dream , he felt the cold that had long plagued his feet begin to creep into his soul .The wind howled with a fury hitherto unknown to him and he fell to the frozen soil to await death . As consciousness began to flee he heard what he could only describe as the sound light must make as it awakens . His senses suddenly , inexplicably heightened , he saw or perhaps rather sensed that which he had sought since childhood . Passageways home ! Well anyway that's what it felt like to me !!!!!!!!!! Must go now as the other journeys await ! Thanks Brother , Dave
