I’m glad your sickness is not caused by me. Mine is not caused by you. I’m glad to know the heavy earth will never flow away from us, beneath our feet, and so we can relax together, and not watch our words.

QuoteSierrafan It's odd that he had no warning, unless he just wasn't paying attention. I've always had plenty of warning from that unmistakable sound, but I guess it's possible to surprise a snake. I've always had a hard time with the 'seek medical help, nothing else works' advice. Certainly if there's any way to do that, it's the best, but if you're a long way away, with no communication,by szalkowski - General Discussion

I am being driven forward Into an unknown land. The pass grows steeper, The air colder and sharper. A wind from my unknown goal Stirs the strings Of expectation.
