Finesse

Inspired by Joachim (it happens more often than I care to admit)…
All evoke emotion and ambition – senses so strong that they might very well outweigh my abilities. This isn’t false modesty – little else is worse than falling short of expectations.

COME AGAIN: SWEET LOVE DOTH NOW INVITE
John Dowland
Come again
