OK Austin you can do better then that.

Need I remind you that you are our poet laureate for this forum?

Your talents as story teller, poet, and illustrator, should inspire us all regarding what Love is.

So summon your muse and try again and often.

Best to you Austin,

Pat

I'm glad your muse awoke Austin.

And the rest of you would be poets and lovers; where art thou?

And a quote from Erica:
Do you want me to tell you something really subversive? Love is everything it's cracked up to be. That's why people are so cynical about it. It really is worth fighting for, being brave for, risking everything for. And the trouble is, if you don't risk anything, you risk even more. Author: Erica Jong 1942-, American Author

For those who may be traveling this holiday season, a brief translation dictionary. I love the Australian translation.
