                Sorry for the long absence. I lost my zeal for awhile. Even thought about deleting my blog. Luckily, I had a burst of inspiration this morning and thought it best to keep it open for moments when I feel the need to air interesting views or perspectives.

Thanks for keeping the faith and for reading. Will try to keep it fresh. Lape
