Your life's value, its freedom, its dignity, lay in the choice of 'who' and 'whom' you associate with and those choices you make which impact others. Those decisions you make weave a
tapestry of existence, a cloth to be cherished.” <--- I really liked that.

I read it all, and love your choice of verbage-analogy-filled-babbles!
Of course I understand why you had me read "Winters Prayer". and I couldn't agree more!
With that, I say "Happy Roon-Kantz!" reading that brought me great joy. :D
