Dear Angel,

Hearken back does seem redundant on one level, but on another it's intensified--as though moving not only a bit back, but a long ways.

Hearken is a word that is sadly lost in everyday speech, and, I suppose, only used for comic or dramatic effect.

Too bad, there. It has heart and broken fused into one word, still on the alert for old memories, but dulled, still, by the breaking.

I'm clearly being imaginative here. No left-brained linearity from this soul.

Welcome to the board, by the way. I like your name. You've got an appropriate beginning with Angel and hearken. Celestial kind of listenings here.


Best regards,
WW (aka DubDub, who don't like unnecessary punctuation!)
