Boo booo DQ'd - they're out to get ya, I tell ya. j/k lol. Well at least you have given the rest of us a step by step DQ tutorial now so we know what to do when we feel like we need a little DQ in our system. :)

I remember what you wrote to me about your beliefs and how on earth would you visually be able to express it. This is an excellent spiritual representation in my opinion. The softness and the light background certainly represent that our true souls have no real or tangible form. Just excellent!
