“Social hierarchy doesn’t hold a candle to the power of feeling isolated in your own skin.”

“Time seems so inconceivably vast, until it crushes, pressing you paper-thin between one broken-heartbeat passed, and the laughter yet to come.”

“They understood freewill wasn’t about physically resisting. Physical resistance isn’t always possible … it is mentally, emotionally, and spiritually withstanding the pressure to forget humanity’s potential for kindness over cruelty. Choosing to accept consequences while still holding your head high, vulnerable and naked … you are stronger for the pain.”

A belated thanks for choosing me to be among your friends, Elyse. It may interest you that my book Marvin Clark—In Search of Freedom in now a matching FREE download on Amazon Kindle. It is not 'dark' fiction, but you might find it amusing. Enjoy it while you can. (A little review on Amazon wouldn't hurt either!)Stan

Hi, Elyse! I just uploaded your recent interview on my Live Journal profile. You can use this link to see it and use it if you wish: http://lordwalkiwolf.livejournal.com/...Now, I think I deserve my dinner and a chilled-out evening. However, I think 24 hours a day are never enough. Take care and catch up soon!

Thanks a lot, Elyse. Best regards to you and your beautiful daughter. Good luck with "Free Will" and "Consequences". Kudos to your great job.
Have a wonderful weekend.

It's great to meet you, too! ::)I have a sister who lives in Aurora, BTW. I used to live in Capitol Hill maybe 20 years ago. In fact, Denver has been mentioned in each of my last two books!
I remember being at a party at the Gevernor's mansion -- and a journalist from the RMN kept following me around asking about my toe polish color. What a perv! LOL
Have a fantastic, sunshiny day!
Your Friend,
LP
Elyse, one of my granddaughters is about the age of your daughter and she's near you in Longmont, CO.
Thanks for the comment, Elyse. And, hey, you're reading The Book Thief - I'm supposed to be reading that from a friend's recommendation. How is it so far?
