A harsh moment is soon to follow

[shipshapeshipco]

In these perilous times, one must weigh the components of his life and decide what is truly important. I have crossed the Desert of Doubt and come to the Plateau of Understanding, safe from the Sandstorms of Worry and the deadly Coyotes of Malcontent.

Enough poetry, and riddles and subtlety. I want to show my true colors! To wear my affection pinned to my jacket for all to see!

Alice! I love you!

And now to happily await your reciprocal message...
