God/dess, Mother Nature, The Universe . . . I do believe there is something. What it is, I dunno, but it seems like you got a very profound glimpse of it.

Thanks for sharing the moment. I hope for better days for you and your parents.

A for you from a fellow Whovian.

They may have missed seeing your parents. Wow, what an experience. Hope mother is well soon..n/t monmouth3 Nov 2012 #1
