"Up until this point I had assumed that my heart would remain forever closed off, unable to feel the joys of beauty as I could when I was a young boy, but gazing upon this magificent piece began stirring those long lost emotions back up to the surface. The soft shading around the head mixed with the subtle vibrating of the body really blurs the line between reality and fantasy in such a way as to say that this, our reality, is merely an illusion, that we must open up our eyes and view it with sober occulars in order to finally be at peace with the universe. The spiffy cobalts bring to mind christmases long passed, the joys of opening a beautiful present to bear witness to an ever so nostalgic item, an item that would bring much joy to me over the years, filling them with hope and optimism that once eluded me that now hurriedly floods back as if to say "We missed you, Michael.". Thank you." -mike1967-now
