Let your life lightly dance on the edges of Time like dew on the tip of a leaf.

Excerpt
“My name is Amelia and you must be Thomas’s brother?” “Yes.” He replied confidently. “I’m Damascus, nice to meet you, Amelia.” He offered his hand and I nervously gave him mine. “Do you care to walk back with me? It’s a bit lonely out here.” He smiled still holding my hand and I quickly retrieved it while nodding. There was something different, almost supernatural about him. I walked. He glided. I talked. He sang. I gestured. He conducted. I smiled. He gleamed. I was mesmerized by his every move.
