Why, thanks so much, Mary, on behalf of us all. Sometimes I too find it
very hard to read what's going on and not feel that any kind of hopefulness
is not just a sign of rocks in your head. But yea, though we walk through
the Valley of the Shadow of Death, poetry remindeth me that not all the
worldmind is twisted in the image of the Dreadful Neocon ...
Best wishes
