	Metanoia	I too recently dwelled in this dark night... But in some there is a light that though may be dimmed, can never be completely put out... Good to see you back my friend~ Xox~   Posted by Metanoia on Friday, October 10, 2008 - 5:58 PM [Reply to this]

	The Trailer Park Sage	Thank you sweetheart. I'll be in and out but never gone. Your comment reminded me of one of my all time favorite quotes.... "Hope is the best and last of all things. Without it is only time. And time pushes at our back like a centrifuge, forcing us outward and away, until it nudges us into oblivion...." ---from "The Rule of Four" by Ian Caldwell & Dustin Thomason   Posted by The Trailer Park Sage on Saturday, October 11, 2008 - 12:11 AM [Reply to this]

	3AM in the Morning!	"I let the dark relax its hold And bade the quiet bathe my soul" Sometimes it's when we relax and let go that we gain our peace. Loved this line the most. ~j   Posted by 3AM in the Morning! on Sunday, October 12, 2008 - 3:37 AM [Reply to this]
