Hello Steven,

Thank you so much for visiting the forum and for your kind wishes. Though a little late for wishing you a merry Christmas, let me wish you a great, prosperous year 2009.

Dear Anamaria,

How very nice it is to see you at this forum; but then, it was thinking of dear friends like you that I prepared this thread.

I am very sorry for being so late in replying to your beautiful message and the poem included, which has touched my heart. Let me deeply thank you for it. 

I would like to have the words to correspond in due fashion, but I would need to be the best of poets for it. Let me wish you the happiest year 2009 instead.

Sincerely,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo

Dear Sara,

I believe you are absolutely right in saying a person would be touched in a special way by these masterpieces. For one thing, I know I would if I had the opportunity to see the Isenheim Altarpiece in person. 

Below is a photo of the so-called "Cosmic Christ" on the right panel of the Isenheim Altarpiece. Please accept it as a token of my appreciation for you.

Wishing you a blessed 2009,

Luis Miguel Goitizolo

Luis, thank you!!  Now that one is even more awesome and I know I would be on my knees to visit that one - if from nothing but weakness in the knees.  Breathtaking and thank you for sharing.

Blessings,

Sara
