[Dialogue] 64kQ: River Print: was it #27 or maybe #12?

[Nancy Lanphear]

I too had postcards of the other world that I laminated and hung in each
space that Fred and I lived in in India.  Needless to say, they were covered
with bugs and dust but I still have them in my home here at Songaia.  The
wave and the mountain are in my living room.  The size is larger that the
postcard but reminds me of the other world  of stillness and care in the
midst of the everyday.  what memories!
