Modest Goddess, who dedicates every post to peace, love and service, has won me over with the sincerity of her vision.

I confess that I was cynical, and I provoked her unfairly, but she has proven herself the very embodiment of her ideal. She has forgiven my crassness, choosing instead to focus on the scraps of my past ... musings and mumblings long forgotten by all but her. I am defeated. I am undone. And so I say:

Let sweet accord reign o'er the Board.
