Double Etheree   Floating   This is it: A feeling, an emotion, so elemental you could etch it into the red rock wall overhead, carve deeply so that others will— when floating on the river below— look up and catch a glimpse as they go by. They might revere the ancient engravings— their meaning faded by rain, snow, sun— but this sketch is so powerful. Although new, all would see it for what it really is— art, not graffiti, filled with meaning and timeless: A pure love.     About Julie Laing, US   Julie Laing feels she has always been a writer and editor.
