For all who risk to love, for all who grapple with this awful, messy thing called Life, and who still dare to dream of things that exist no yet ... How could I ever pin for you this day for me, the ides of December? the most gloriously joyful day that I was given to ever experience. In just a few terrible and anguished weeks, I have traveled through heaven and hell, journeyed through the layers of In nana's Inferno. I have known the ultimate agony and the Supremest ecstasy. I have drunk the drink of forgetfulness and remembrance that I myself have brewed. I have wrestled in mortal combat with the devil himself and all his horrifying minions, and have had to take what ever mossterous things they tried to do to me. I was stripped of all I once believed in, and robbed clean of everything I once held dear. And at the end of darkest night, the new Sun of life, and hope, and light! The awful, violent storm is over now. To somewhat paraphrase the song: (so they won't lock me up in jail for copyright infringement) Now I can see the morning after. Together we have finally reached the shore. At last, we have escaped the nightmare Darkness. We won't be searching anymore. I feel I want to have three whales for dinner, baked and stuffed with the herring they have eaten. But they don't have whales in Colorado anymore, not since they took Seaworld anyway, so it looks like I may have a little problem ...From the susquphana to the Arctic Ocean, from the rapahanna to the Rio Grande, Southern Cross A billion billion hugs for you dear. Please let me know when, or if, or even whether I may post on Pip again. |

Magnificent. I wonder how magnanimously you would write if you really had three whales for your dinner along with the herring they had swallowed. Joyce |

Oh no, not the whales, amigo! Rest now, and enjoy some peaceful music. And keep your dream-catcher within arm's reach. |
