You who would cast the first
stone, learn from the Quileute

Weekly: 10/14/2008

Though inclement weather may
rise, I shall not hide in a barn like
a mouse. My future is not some
treasure locked in a shrine out of

send from above like parts of an
angelic aria. The warring factions
shall obey me, for even a hound
can sip from a chalice.
