Hope is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul, And sings the tune--without the words, And never stops at all,
And sweetest in the gale is heard; And sore must be the storm That could abash the little bird That kept so many warm.
I've heard it in the chillest land, And on the strangest sea; Yet, never, in extremity, It asked a crumb of me.
(Emily Dickinson)
Hey Lounge! I'm taking a chance today, and it feels great! When are you going to take yours?

Hey, I don't have a English degrees. I was always more a bio and social science geek.:P

Hopefully, our cadoodling hasn't made us too big a public spectacle. We're just two people (who have both been through a lot) on a journey together. It's nice. 3 hours, 37 minutes. :)

and it worked out very well. Had 4 days of fun and made a new friend. :)
It wasn't the big chance I need to take...but it was a start.

Not after last year's election, not after 9/11, not after the 2002 election when Ehrlich was made governor of my state, and not after the 2000 election.
I never even gave up hope in the days before I checked myself in to a psychiatric hospital, nearly 20 years ago. I'm not about to give up hope now. It was the biggest chance I've ever taken.
Thank you for posting the poem, Finnfan. I need to read it more often. Hell, I should memorize it.
:hug: thank you.
edit: Have a wonderful day. You too, Sarah Belle.
