Enough Already!

Enough of night and dark and gloom and nightmares! Away with you, ugly things! What is the point of having been given everlasting joy if you don't walk in it?

Here, then, bring the golden brimming cups of life! I raise mine to lovely fountains and fierce pillow-fights, to dancing and the delight of song, to hours by the fire and storytellers' voices. I toast my friends Shari and Debra and their children. Ellie, companion of only a few hours but so much Pride and Prejudice, this one is for you! To the Christian life!

And, of course, to Nora... queen of all our hearts. <:0)
