Here's how awakened at a lonely hour in service to my own disquiet I wander the hillside. I've been here a while as long as I recall. Make room for some space and make your way with love and you'll always have your racket. Content is king. Context is queen. You won't always have the pleasure of a principled thing but you'll always have your racket. It isn't up to me. I wish it was. Do you have all you need? We'll follow your lead.
