Hold the phone, now! Mika, I did not know you had a way with a pencil!

And HOW! I am impressed!

Dear heart, I have more than once pointed out I used to draw on a fairly regular occasion. It is merely the fact I haven't set pencil to paper in recent years. That line art is about 6 years out of date, and now I am rusty. Admittedly, though, the coloring job is recent, sometime last year if I recall correctly.
Just as importantly, I am finally beginning to feel the urge, after all these years away, to begin again, and shake the rust off the old tools. To quote a famous poem, "Though much is taken, much abides; and though We are not now that strength which in old days Moved earth and heaven, that which we are, we are--One equal temper of heroic hearts, Made weak by time and fate, but strong in will To strive, to seek, to find, and not to yield." I pray I may live up to those bold words.

Peace, dearest heart.

Yours,
Mika Kyubi
