...and HOPE is the one thing that serves as a life preserver in a sea of iniquity. THANK YOU, Rhiannon, for sharing this. 
“Hope” is the thing with feathers -
That perches in the soul -
And sings the tune without the words -

Kick in to the DU tip jar?
This week we're running a special pop-up mini fund drive. From Monday through Friday we're going ad-free for all registered members, and we're asking you to kick in to the DU tip jar to support the site and keep us financially healthy.
As a bonus, making a contribution will allow you to leave kudos for another DU member, and at the end of the week we'll recognize the DUers who you think make this community great.
