They say the human eye can see a score of miles by night,
Though far beyond be only glowing ember's ruddy light.
The Heart must surely far surpass, in its responsive scope,
The Eye, for it will reach toward fainter hints of Love or Hope.
I hear these things, and must believe, but I will never know,
For I am ever-wrapt within my kin and friends' warm glow.
Imagine my surprise when, as I was picking up my e-mail on a day that happened to be my birthday, I discovered that some anonymous giver had chosen me upon which to practice Random Acts of Kindness and Senseless Acts of Beauty. I received the gift of twelve months of a paid LiveJournal account. Since it was anonymous, I have no way to thank the giver, save in this forum. And so, I thank you. If it please you, you should know that it was a completely unexpected and wholly pleasant surprise.
