Description
I am making black marks on white paper. These marks are my thoughts. And although I don't know you are reading this now, in some way the lines of our lives have intersected here on this white paper. We meet here. We touch for the length of these brief sentences. It is no accident that you are reading this. These words have been waiting for you. This moment has been waiting for you. Remember me.
