Fortress

There is a wall I've built.
Strong
Stone
Covered in ivy.
Lush
Green
It goes around my heart.
Tender
Soft
To protect it from harm.
Fear
Doubt
But if you seek,
There is a door.
Deep within
The walls of viridian
Celadon
Moss

That's right 🙂 It's like the Secret Garden. If you look hard enough, deep enough, walk through the door and breathe life into being it's an awesome thing. Puzzles and mazes are very apt to have a play with. 🙂

Thank you Awake. 🙂 I am, but it's been so long since I've been truly knowledgeable about it.

That is a very nice mental cross reference actually. 🙂

That is very astute Awake, extremely so. I am sure I will recognize him when I see him, but will he recognize me, there's the trick. Just for that insight here are homemade cookies and fresh coffee. 🙂 Ever the hostess, me.

Ahh, someone that still appreciates manners and older ways. 🙂 First couple of mugs I put a bit of sugar in it to further the kick. Usually the rest of the day it's black. Good coffee stands on its own.

Absolutely correct. I'm pretty stuck in my viewpoints about that. There's absolutely nothing wrong with 'sir', 'ma'am', nor respect addressing elders. Not a bit wrong with doing the little things because they're pleasing. And I'll stop that right there or I'll be shamelessly typing on for days and quite possibly be getting up on a high horse about so much that is lost. 🙂

Because AA, coffee cannot hold me at night or make me want to howl and bite the pillow. It cannot laugh with me, nor hold my hand. No witty banter, no rows, no leaving the toilet seat up. It's just a hot beverage. And having coffee is standard, sometimes with desserts, sometimes not. But it's a social thing. "Coming over for coffee" is a phrase here.

Cela sonne l'ravissante. Pourtant, si vous avez commenc? l?? et travaill? votre voie en bas un cou, vous seriez dans le probl?me tout ?? fait s?rieux. En bref, mon cher B?lier, je vous d?truirais, compl?tement. 😉

I don't know why it went French, what were you shooting for German? And I have to have coffee in the morning, or I am a douchebag. It is the unwritten and unspoken law of the house that no one screws with me before coffee.

Mais ?videmment il implique des menottes. Je pourrais vous mettre aux fers au lit et avoir ma voie avec vous. Ah oui, ma tr?s m?chante voie avec vous. J'ai peur nous devrons faire ?? tour de r?le, j'aime ?tre domin? aussi.

Bwahahhaa.
