(1,389 posts)1. Hi guillaumeb - Thank you for posting this - it sounds very interesting!
I hope it does well enough that they perform in other cities closer to me
Hope all is well with you.

My own view is that Christianity and Islam are all descended from Judaism, obviously, and that the common elements make this type of event a great expression of that commonality.
Peace to you also.

Nonsense. Fairy tale. Dismissed.

Love the arts. Fiction.

(42,649 posts)6. I confess to not having read any Harry Potter books.
Do you like the French Symbolists? Very metaphor heavy poetry.

meaning as the literal sense of the words.
