What has always drawn me to Rays stories is how incredibly concise and clean they are, and yet they are so evocative and personal. In particular "One Timeless Spring" has always struck a chord for me. When I first read it at 18 years of age my skin was cold and my eyes watered. Until I read that story I hadn't realized that I'd completely fallen for a girl and consequently was almost unable to function normally. I know this sounds silly-words fail me.

Thank you Ray.
