I was wearing a wrist watch that had a silver face and numbers. When my head was bowed in prayer, I noticed the face of my watch. It was magenta pink. I lifted my eyes to see that it . . . → Read More: The Faces Appreciation is the only word I can come up with to describe today. I had a beautiful ride from NY back to Cape Cod.
