Wow Brother,
Thats big..!!! I mean first of all I accept wholeheartedly this beautiful and larger than life gift of yours..
Amazing perspective of this pic with an absolutely mind blowing note ...you have casted eternity on me by this pic..
I am small....very tiny on top of that mountain but those are the steps of my soul which can cover the world in neat 20 steps...and for that matter you have depicted the soul of all here which has no bounds......
which leaps in to oblivion with just the thought and is not dependent on any thing...
Thanks brother..!!!!!this is great...

You are such a poet. I love reading your notes. Quite smart to capture this painting/poster and turning it into a meaningful picture. Good focus and pov.
