Mission Plaza — Attraction in Santa Cruz

I'm sort of shy bout this kind of thing but the fountain out front actually started whispering to me. Normally ide dismiss this kind of thing but it knew me and was even aware of some of my deepest problems and advised beautifully. I felt moved and word of advice when or if this occurrence happens to you, it's best to keep the interaction silent and use the force or just notice and enjoy the meditation and contemplation.

I want love and can't speak for anyone else but haven't given up on it. No siree Bob not gonna do it. Jesus definitely loves you, and I like to give thanks to God for that. Peace...
