Was that a parable, or a very subtle joke?

Exactly! Hope, but then plan! And if plan A, doesn't work, have a plan B ready...

That's what I believe. Turn wishful thinking, into willful.

Just so you don't have to go too far down the alphabet!

I've missed you Kat.

The only true freedom, is freedom from the heart's desires.

Back at ya! I hang out here mostly, and some at Answermug. I have a R2T account, but rarely go there. And I haven't bothered to check out the "new EP" yet. I'm waiting to hear that it's really believable and solid.

Hope is the thing with feathers -
By Emily Dickinson

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.

I spent a few minutes on the "new EP" yesterday. It's hard to judge if I like it with many of the features still under construction. I think I'm in the camp that believes this site is not affiliated with EP, but the only thing that puzzled me is that they indicated they were going to import EP data. I'm not sure how they pull that off legally, unless they are EP, or if EP simply sold the content. Since they had morphed into a research company, that wouldn't totally surprise me either.

I haven't cared much for Answermug. I think it's kind of boring actually, and the homepage reminds me of a poorly organized yard sale.

The only true freedom, is freedom from the heart's desires.
