Absolutely remarkable 👏

"when pain is traveled, we are transformed.

150 million degrees of heat and

725,000 lbs of pressure,

it is this and nothing less that a diamond requests

in order to be formed. "

Suffering does indeed have a purpose, fellow traveler.

Wow. You said it, the name is "No More Hiding" even though "Knife Party Kaleidoscope" is so cool. That was a lot to chew on by the way, and well said.
