Seeing pictures of them is preferable to being in one!<br /><br />I think of the silent stories inside each car I pass or that passes me in the opposing lane: each car represents a story, lives intent on some unknown destination.<br /><br />I am so glad you are intrigued by my book -- the title is tied in the reason for the excavation in Egypt. I hope to be finished with it soon. Thanks for visiting, :-)Roland D.

Beautiful. <br /><br />Your book sounds fantastic and I love the title!<br /><br />Julie Flandershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05003737491313673214noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-4686958206878735132013-12-06T12:32:15.809-06:002013-12-06T12:32:15.809-06:00D.G:

If the focus in a crowd stands out, a crowd acts like a human frame of sorts.<br /><br />Sam, for most of his life, was a lonely man with no family -- so he made family wherever he went.<br /><br />The shallow life, on the surface (pun intended), seems the easiest life to many -- but in the end, it only results in emptiness.<br /><br />Thank you for being my constant in-depth cyber-friend! :-)<br />Roland D.

(especially as they distract from whatever 'object' I'm trying to feature).<br /><br />As for colliding stories, that I can appreciate. Sam must have a big heart. <br /><br />I know life is never as simple as it appears on the surface. Some will never delve below the surface, they will live shallow lives avoiding all that disturbs them. Others will dive in headfirst and through experience, enrich their lives through those they have known. (that includes cyber-friends, too!)D.G.
