It was the first time ever that I sat face-to-face with someone who had outstripped by 30 years the life-span of three score and ten allotted us by the psalmist.

Stones symbolised through dance? This is the novel theme that will be brought to life when Naomi Rajaratnam’s ‘With My Feet’ brings to you, ‘Living Stones’.
