REVEL IN YOUR FULLNESS
Some days, perhaps most days, all we need is a soft pillow, someone to hug and hold onto, and a restful place to understand the fullness of who we are...
RULES??
Ken-Dogger: Hey Fifi, what’s up with the rope?

KD: So, just guidelines…
STILL HOPING SOCIETY WINS

E: It’s so easy to Love, why the hate?
KD: Peeps feel aggrieved, I get that…But hate never fills that hole.
E: What hole is that?

KD: If that’s the path you choose…
