If there'd be a crawlspace big enough for a mouse to fit through, it will be no worth for measured do one pleasure of a dearth will be a great loss to all concerned more Findings of a soul well depth is of choice to best contemplate the resolve pressing the fleeting passage of time jams healing trends insurmountable odds, less a voice Quietude crunches, replace nervousness and snaps a cranium continued grounds tethering edges e'er relinquished sounds of wakes are suitable bite less nerves us Hope claims honorable desperate needs results 'wish' that expectation succeeds.

You invoked emotions splendidly, my friend--of hope still rooting through desperation.

Mahalo, Vijay on this western celebrated day and as my mother traveled the world on her missionary days she notes added care to green minds of the masses to the Christian faith during this time she referred to as America's Celebrated Seasonal Day/leave-out Christmas & Holiday or Holy Day. I was a student of Sociology and told her of sensitivity approach. Seasons Best, my friend. Aloha, William

Ah, the first of the three was my choice where my two desperados' hope to win concocted within my drama, but alas, 'twas ill-fated. This one might make 3rd, eh?<--(wonder if this punctual mark is subjectively approving, are we still a democracy, or was a queen resurrected somewhere south of Sandwich?) Thanks for your optimism, Silent One. Aloha, William
