I open this book often to find Inspiration. I was lucky enough to travel most of Spanish Catalonia .. I am impressed & empowered with their words during the rise to power of Franco ...

By then Christ will have been born ..
He'll glance our way during dessert
and when he sees us. He'll break into tears ..
