I write a thought down and instead of publishing it vanishes. Thanks for sharing the immersive experience with us. I am sure by what you wrote in your Frida poem that .it was a truly moving exhibit.

I always find it hard to do that, but I'm always glad I did it. Your Frida poem is just gorgeous, and thank you for the whale sharing stars, too.
