C: Right here, right now…Flowers for America.
A PM
Ken-Dogger: Morning Nikko
Nikko: You know that Manassas song ‘Move Around’ that goes One searches, for the sake of searching, clearly then, stumbling..., falling..., lurching...
KD: No need to prove, only you, to stand your ground.
N: The acceptance of error with grace is to refuse to be vain. This fear drives one further into what one thinks to be a race of life or death.
KD: Or simply take another breath of nature's air now, which is to be alive to move around
(Manassas)
