One-shot ; How MuRi ended up being taken care of by 'a friend'

2009-12-15T16:54:14Z

In dedication to vifzettamomo for her fondness of Eric's puppy eyes, and more. ♥♥
~~.. and yes that's quite a long title. xDD~~

Please excuse all the bad editing because it's 12:45AM on a weekday, I'm old and unskilled. =x

~*~*~*

It was another day of long hours at the studio with endless tweaking at the notes and multiple recordings of his singing style to get the song feel just right, but it still did not turn out satisfactory so they all decided to call it a night and work on it again the next day. Silence greeted him as he finally reached home but he was stopped short at the door when a note in a familiar scribble caught his eyes:

Darn.

He only remembered now that he forgot to text his brother to feed the poor puppy as he was too engrossed in finishing his songs. Groaning softly as he made his way upstairs, Hyesung was half-cursing (at himself), half-grateful (at his neighbour) under his breath for not taking a good care of his 'daughter' like he promised he would.

Another note with the same handwriting was stuck on the similar door:

Grumbling as he expertly entered the passcode, the sight he saw when the door gave way made his exasperation at his friend dissolved almost too quickly. In the gentle light of the approaching dawn, Muri was tucked carefully in the midst of thick blanket and fluffy pillows, kept warm beside a body whose presence was (presently) only seen by his slightly-curvy brown hair.

Hyesung decided that perhaps it was time to admit that Eric would make a better 'daddy', just maybe not to his face.

Notes:

001. Minwoo introducing 'the daughter'
002. She's being taken care of by a friend
~~003. No, we know not if the friend is really Eric but let's play along and assume so anyway ~ SHUSH! xP~~

Scribbles ; cliche.

Mostly inspired by this post. Congrats, boys!! <3
My first EunHae. ~~yes, eventhough I love them so much =x~~

~*~*~*

it happens like the usual cliche
but each cliche means something more to different people
hence a cliche never expires

When they heard their name was called out as the big winner of the night, he could hardly believe his ears. Suddenly the whole glittery shine typical of an awards show played in front of him went muted. Amidst the crowd of people, his eyes only saw a blur of faces, emotions jumbled and he forgot how to feel.

Then, a warm presence enveloped him in a very, very familiar hug, tuning back his senses and the fuzzy roars of congratulary noise rose around him like a planned orchestra. As the sobs quietly rumbling their bodies in a gentle sway, Hyukjae savoured this moment wholeheartedly, knowing it would be one of his precious memories, especially because he was able to share this with the person who would understand it the most. So he enclosed the embrace tighter to bring Donghae closer, stealing a bit more time before it ended all too soon.

Not recent but not so old, too.
Shared elsewhere before,
and realized I've never posted the fics here. ;P

Nothing important, just for compiling purposes.

Title: Someday. One Day.
Posted: February 11, 2009
Characters: Chansung-centric, mentions of Shinhwa.
Summary: Sometimes the Past become clear once more when the Present exhibits a reminiscence.

Title: Boys handle it like boys do.
Posted: June 18, 2009
Characters: Focus on Chansung/Taecyeon/Jaebum, with all 2PM members.
Summary: Accidents happen, like mistakes, perfectly human.
Notes: Everybody should be able to tell which incident this is based on. I saw comments like 'Taec fans, don't try to sugarcoat things for him!!' and was a bit unhappy, because we know they are all very close. =)

the day Malaysia lost her treasure.

2009-07-26T08:29:03Z

I mentioned her very briefly once before.

I had always loved to read her blog entries. She shared parts of unselfish self which were reflected in her brilliant award-winning works, ads and movies alike. Her fascination and passion returned the faith for a lot of locals to the industry.

She left us too early, many felt so, but God loves her more and I believe His plans for her are much bigger than what this temporary world could offer. Or perhaps her mission is done.

Her inspiring efforts will forever be remembered, deeply affecting, always triggering thoughts. The Flower she had planted is blooming, only in Eternal note now.

May you RIP, Yasmin Ahmad. Al-Fatihah.

One-shot ; HIWAY (Ride With Me)

Start: 2008.09.08
End: 2009.04.28

끝도 볼 수 없지만, 내가 가는 이 길이
정말 내가 원해왔던 길일까
셀 수 없는 갈등과 내 현실 앞에 끝없이 싸워야만해
모두 이겨낼 수 없겠지, 난 가야만해
가진 것도 없고, 믿는 것도 없지만
내 안엔 나를 믿어주는 친구도 있어
날 일어설 수 있게 해줘
I can't see the end
But is the road that I'm on,
really the road that I want?
I have countless difficulties
And things that must be fought in my reality
I probably wont be able to win over all of them
But i must go on
I have nothing, i believe in nothing
But i have friends that believe me
Help me to get up

The night was unusually quiet. Hyesung had wanted to continue his practice, but something tugged at his heart. In two days, he would be holding his own stage again, a promised comeback to his ever supporting fans. Yet it was not what bothered him. He failed to put a finger to it, uneasiness filled his being.

The gush of wind tried to awash him as he stepped out of the car his manager drove. He was quite taken at how cold it felt despite the humidity of summer. Tightening his worn-out hoodie around his lean frame, he waved goodbye and made his way up to his apartment. The surrounding seemed to be frozen and he was the only one moving.

The sight of home relieved him a little. He stood before the door, about to punch the PIN number, when he noticed something was amiss. It was too.. peaceful. He flicked open his handphone. No new messages. Very odd. His legs started without waiting for his thoughts to settle, swiftly jogging down the stairs in an automated ignorance towards the elevator.

The lights were off. 'Isn't the wrap-up party supposed to end by now?' Hyesung wondered, by now he could not help to conceal his worry. He quickened his pace, this time purposely heading for the elevator, #1 key on speed-dial already making connection. Fingers wrapped around his mobile in a tight grip as he listened to the electronic tone.

Nothing.

Hyesung fought the feeling of dejavu. The last time this happened, he nearly bought an impromptu airfare to Jeju-do. Hating the restlessness in his heart, he walked off briskly to his car, a spare key succesfully fished out from his fling bag. He closed his eyes briefly, flashing various places in his mind. The engine was barely heated when he geared up and zoomed off into the early morning.

~*~*~*

He could not remember for how long he had sit there. On his own. Heart getting numbed, eyes staring into space, ears muting his surrounding. Did he cry? He could not recall. It was as though he had used up all of his energy resources. He even lost the will to smoke.

He felt that he needed to do something, so he tried to focus. He regretted it the moment he did as the rush of awful images came. Clear, unfiltered, real. He shut his eyes instinctively and covered his head with his arms, willing the sinking feeling to disappear. "No," he pleaded softly, teeth biting his lower lip, refusing to succumb to the pain.

A comforting warmth enveloped him, a total contrast to what he was feeling towards the world at the moment. He did not need to guess who it was, how he found him or why did he come. He remembered what he had wanted to do, but now it was not necessary. He let go of the forgotten handphone in his hand, its screen still blaring the name of the person hugging him right then.

~*~*~*

"Eric," Hyesung spoke gently, a lump in his throat, feeling the loss he knew his friend was suffering from. Expecting the silence, he slowly patted him in a soothing pattern. Having done this ritual for countless times, Eric fall into the rhythm and finally let his guard down, allowing the tears to fall freely. Both of them rocked with his constrained sorrow, Hyesung continuing to hold him steadfast as he crumbled off his star persona and become just Eric.

"The funeral-" he started, voice hoarse from grief.

"It's okay, I'll send you there. We'll stay a bit," Hyesung replied, smiling through his tears.

Excerpts:

How do you catch the flu during the summer?
I went to the Han River together with my friends a few days ago. I guessed I caught a cold after blowing too much of the breeze during the night.

Quite unpolished, though.

~*~*~*

One-shot ; Still the Same.

"He did it again."

An unknowing person would have thought it was said to no one in particular, to the empty house to chase silence away, or someone was just thinking aloud.

Alas.

"Who? What? Where?" Eric replied lazily from where he was currently perched, the blare from the laptop LCD giving odd shadows to his profile. He paused his attempt at a rap verse, putting the pencil he had been using to a rest, its tip blunt from many cross-outs and failed rhymes.

There was a ruffle near the door, a solid thump and in came Hyesung, his lanky frame was covered mostly by his long coat, face half-hidden with his dark brown sunglasses, hair kept flat by a white M-Wolf cap.

"Andy," Hyesung answered as he dropped the keys and shrugged off his clothing to reduce to just loose t-shirt and worn-out jeans, the typical recording and practicing attire.

Eric rolled the rotating chair towards the sofa, where Hyesung had taken refugee, limbs all stretched and filling the furniture whole, face-down.

"That didn't cover half of what I asked," Eric looked at the lump in front of him, his poking fingers earned a grunt from the other man.

"The [YaShimManMan] story, elaborated version," Hyesung put up his chin and took a peek at Eric, who had a grin on, indicating that he knew without being told which story it was. Hyesung let go a sigh, "You knew. Is it all over the news? Already?"

"Andy told me after they were done shooting," Eric's grin widened as he saw Hyesung took hold of a cushion to cloak his head and buried himself further into the soft covers. He waited a full minute before Hyesung decided to uncurl and sat up straight. "I called him when I got his message," Hyesung flipped open his handphone and passed it to him.

Eric laughed openly, mostly because of what he read - Hyung. Don't kill me. I love you. *hearteu chum* - but also because of the way Hyesung was reacting, though truthfully it was not much of a surprise. "He said it was such a cute story and that I should thank him for clearing up about our 'relationship'," Hyesung grumbled, sounding obviously like he could not believe his ears, "I don't see any cuteness in me being drunk.. and it's not like I confessed my love to you when I thought you were asleep-"

"Does that mean you don't love me?"

Hyesung felt like trashing the whole apartment, his frustrations were building up steadily, Eric was making it worse by ignoring the main point and twisting the conversation at the wrong timing-

"You're too stressed, Pilgyo."

He heard a chuckle as he finally looked up to meet a pair of calm brown eyes, currently tinted with a hint of amusement and more of.. 'Concern?' he finished in his head. The raging storm he felt previously was effectively halted. Eric smiled fondly, an appearance he usually kept private, at rare moments when he displayed his place as the eldest, "The fans will continue to love you. People will take notice. They will all come to respect your talent. Eventually."

He found himself being shoved up to his feet, guided gently to the dining table by hands secured around his waist. Hyesung could not find his voice at times like this, when Eric swiftly turned mature and read him like an open book. It still caught him unguarded after all these years.

"I'll have lunch with you tomorrow," Hyesung suddenly blurted under his breath, a plan materializing in his mind, stopping their walk, eyes locked unfocused at the neatly arranged dinner a few metres away.

"To celebrate the album's release?" Eric asked breezily from behind, totally pleased with himself to see Hyesung's former pressure dissipating slowly.

Hyesung turned to push him off with both hands, hard, taking the chance to sit himself quickly in front of the savoury food as Eric recovered from his lost balance.

"That.. and your birthday," Hyesung spoke as he spooned a meat from the kimchi jjigae to his mouth. Eric took his time to take his own seat in front of him, a confusion clear in his eyes but he kept mum as he fixed his gaze on Hyesung.

"Technically, it's still your birthday," Hyesung met his eyes, "American time."

dear friends,

it's been a good journey here in LJ. to cut things short, i'll no longer be updating entries. feel free to unfriend me. lately i don't have much to say and i think it's unfair to leave it hanging. i'll still use this account to reply to friends/comm but that's about it.

thanks for all this time, and sorry for everything.

goodbye & best wishes. ^^

2009-01-17T03:22:30Z

dear good-emg,

although my command of english is only mediocre at best, can you please consider to hire me as your english proofreader? i would even do it for free. am willing to attend advanced english classes as well. providing me with every single album/single released would be humbly welcome, though. just, please, get someone to read over your stuff before you send your materials to the printer/webmaster to make it public.

thank you.

ps. [keep leaves] hardly makes sense, honestly. though you may meant it to be deep, with all due respect, it appears more cryptic than poetic.

sincerely ~~in the name of love~~,

faricsyung

~*~*~*

하나부터 열까지 머리에서부터 발끝까지
널 본척 느낌이 특별해
모두가 다변해도 난 안변해
손잡아쥔것 꽉줘
힘든일 있으면 같이 헤쳐나가 뭐가 뭔지
From one to ten, from the top of my head to the tip of my toes
You give me this special feeling all over
When everything seems to be just talk, I won't change
Take my hand and hold on tight
If times are tough we'll get through them together
Everybody wanna know what your problem is
How good it is to be just one

Everybody wanna know what your problem is
How good it is to be just one
영원도 변치안을 우정 can't you see?
우리 처음 만난 기억해
그때처럼 너그럽게 변치 않고
이렇게 높은 하늘들을 멀리 날아갈까나
Everybody wanna know what your problem is
How good it is to be just one
Friendship never changes, can't you see?
Remember when we first met?
You've hardly changed a bit
You fly freely in the sky

- SHINHWA, [Thank You]

One-shot ; where the heart is.

Hyesung lowered down the seat as he made himself comfortable and straightened up. As much as one could in a car, anyway. Luggages and compulsory souvenirs all loaded neatly in the bonnet and backseat. 'It feels good to be home,' he inhaled deepy, filling himself with the smell of familiarity. In his contentment, he took time to notice that the car was heading towards a different direction. His puzzlement was met with a smiley shrug and an amused voice from the driver, "We're not doing ramyeon today."

"It's not like I miss it. Andy's cooking tastes better, way better," he mustered his most dismissive expression, only to get a hearty laughter in return. Hyesung was not sure if he liked hearing the tinkling joy at his expense, but he admitted that it was affective. He could not help but to chuckle. His lips curved up more easily now, feeling completely at ease at this rarity to let down his guard. He wanted to be just Jung Pilgyo.

"May I speak to Mr. Steve Jung, please?"

Startled, he stared dumbly at his mobile phone at first, apparently forgotten in his hand, when his senses finally came back to him and automatized his reply, "Speaking."

'English?' he muttered under his breath, a bit bewildered at the oddity of mouthing a foreign language while sitting in his homeland, also the use of the name only usual one decade ago. At his side, his friend continued to drive, though hiding a knowing grin behind his stoic build.

"Just want to inform you that your table is ready and we have reserved your request for the fusion course. We look forward to welcome you and your partner later when you arrive," the polite tone went in and out of his focus as his mind whirled rapidly to process the information which seemed to not be directed at him, yet did. He ended the call with a confused, "Sure," and had his body turned fully toward the one behind the wheel, who at the same time had softly killed the engine and gave him his utmost attention.

"Eric," he started simply.

"I know you love Japanese food but I figure you must've had a lot while you're on tour, and it seems too ordinary to eat our staple local favourites, so I ended up to have a mix of everything including the steaks and chips we hailed back then," Eric gave his infamous smirk for effect. When Hyesung did not look like he had anything to come back with, Eric added, "Happy birthday, silly."

2008-11-17T14:25:31Z

Maybe it's because the way Kim Jong Gook reassured his worries;
or perhaps because of the weird message only Eric can gave;
or the simple show of support from Minwoo;
probably the friendship that survived through trials and joys;
I think mostly because of the man himself, with his gorgeous smile and sunshiny laughter,
who fondly refer himself as 'the Uncle' in his many random yet deep diary entries;
"All the best, oppa, and come back soon!" I'm able to say with a smile,
mirroring his usual show of enthusiasm, with an unspoken, "We'll miss you,"
because he knows, anyway. <3

Yesterday, my dad called me after lunch to talk, which is rare - 'at work' and 'long talk' are the keywords - unless he has something big enough to tell me. The 'big' matter turned out to be that the desktop at home was attacked by a virus, and AVG was giving 'Trojan' warning. He said about 2000 files were infected, according to a certain virus scanning program. He also mentioned the last thing he did was getting a prompt to install some spyware-removal stuff when he went to YouTube.

At the mention of "2000 files infected", my mind went straight to my downloaded stuff which I have yet to burn - Shinhwa solo activities clips, MY RICSYUNG COLLECTION, subbed [Come to Play: Old School Special], subbed [Johnny's Sports Day 2003], and tons others! - but since there was nothing I could do at that moment, I took a deep breath and told him to just shut it down and I would look at it later when I got home. He sounded apologetic, but I did not hate nor blame him. More like, frustration was eating me. The whole time, I was praying hard those files were just systems data, so I could just reinstall a fresh Windows and still had my files at other partitions safe.

To anyone concerned, I managed to get rid of it later. The depression's gone. <3

Apparently, there's this trend of rogue security software around lately, in addition to the ever annoying spyware and malware. It disguises itself as a 'helpful tool to fend off malicious virus' for you, but is actually the culprit. Mine was attacked by Virus Response Lab 2009. I read that some victims were fooled to give their credit card numbers to 'purchase the full version for extra protection' which turned out to be a scam, leaving both their credit card and PC vulnerable and open for worse situations.

It's a Wolf wearing a Sheep's skin. Evil in the name of Good. How horrifyingly disgusting. ~~(I was not referring to hating wolves.)~~

Probably Mulder was right; Trust No One. I believe in the good of people more, though, but it is always good to take precautions. Earned trust is often better than demanded trust, anyway. =)

i think it's true that miracles are silent.

on the other hand, my first grin this ~~soon-to-get-crazy-hectic-~~morning is to read that Kyuhyun said Donghae is his hero. the one about Ryeowook by Henry is touching too! Ryeowook described Kyuhyun so cutely, it's just so him. Donghae's 'hehe' when he wrote about Siwon. LOL.

the whole article is love, really. oori dongsaeng-deul. ;_; <3

2008-10-27T09:09:51Z

i went to my uncle's house yesterday and watched [the Order of the Phoenix] with my cousin (who still remembers my love for Harry Potter and Narnia) and his wife. i don't know who i like more in the books, but i definitely enjoyed watching Ron on the big screen.

i forgot which book it was (i think it's TOOTP), but at one time, i was really proud of the twin brothers for ruining the dull, military-strict Hogwarts had sadly turned to with their awesome fireworks that totally blew out the school. Fred and George left it with a HUGE bang. it's so awesomely inappropriate but at that time of chaotic mess, it was what seemed the right thing to do. i was literally jumping out of joy to cheer them on. tsktsk

i was checking out Ron the actor's page at FB to fill time. here are some of his interview quotes in 2002:

To act scared, I think of something scary, like maybe a teacher I had. Although then I might get too scared!
- Disney Adventures

(Speaking about Ron & Hermione): I don't know - I'm not really looking forward to doing that! But yeah... I hope it doesn't happen. I hope Ron gets killed off before they actually do something.
- Newsround

ROFL. he's a cute guy in real life too. he reminds me of Junsu? and guess what i found out? he's the same age as my brother! (and that means Changmin as well. xP)

the point of this? nothing. i just feel like it. LOL.

peeks.

2008-10-22T03:34:55Z

These NEWS articles are nice materials for [Toho Shin-i]. LOL. xD

One of the psychological tests is to reveal how does one sees a member in the group. NEWS is six, so I conveniently used the same test to name Shinhwa members. HAHA. xP

As to not spoil the whole test, I only put my choices to what the colour represents, in random order. Suprisingly (or not), it awesomely matches how I see them! @.@

Eric // SHADOW LEADER: the colour of solitude
You think the one whom you applied this colour for is a shadow leader who is an outlaw living in his own world
-- Need I say more? ._.

Hyesung // FRIEND: the colour of healing
You think the one whom you applied this colour for is a friend who is calm and generous
-- He is moody and emotional, but in the time of chaos, I sort of can see him as the peacemaker. He is the Mommy Bird, after all.

Andy // MOOD MAKER: the colour of communication
You think the one whom you applied this colour for is a mood maker who talks well
-- Though not many sees him as such, I think he is wise despite being the youngest. He does not speak much in interviews, but when he does, usually he does it proper. Not really the typical mood maker, but like Eric once said, he is 'the pet'. LOL.

Junjin // YOUNGER BROTHER: the colour of cheerfulness
You think the one whom you applied this colour for is a younger brother who is bright and mischievous
-- As opposed to Andy, Junjin does seem more like the magnae of the group to me, in a good way. His naivety and trusting nature never really changed since long before.

Minwoo // RIVAL: the colour of passion
You think the one whom you applied this colour for is a rival who is powerful, full of burning energy
-- Not really a 'rival' in its original essence, but he is one in a way. He took the first plunge to release a solo album. He basically does everything he aims for with all that he has, which I think helps to trigger some encouragement of sort to the rest.

Dongwan
TEACHER: the colour of mature
You think the one whom you applied this colour for is a teacher who is a bit plain but serious and reliable
-- The closet philosopher, this dork. He does not show off his maturity and seriousness on screen, but he has his moments. When he does, he really gives off the 'oppa is teaching you something' feeling to me.

~~And yes I did change the spelling for 'colour' from the original translation. xP~~

Translation credits ALL goes to the generous translator of the article. <3

ps. YES, I CAN'T WAIT FOR THE DVD!! Fufufu ~ xDD <33

oh crab(s)?

"Say hi to Junsu for me!"
"OK, to Junsu."

For vifzettamomo. <3
This came leisurely, at its own pace.
A short piece without any strong storyline. ^^;

~*~*~*

Hyesung hates warm weather. That is why he let the aircond on in his room, where Eric sneaks in more often than not to steal a slumber. There are mornings when Hyesung wakes up to find another lump of black hair beside him, the owner down with fatigue, dimpling the bed. Sometimes facing him, sometimes not, but always with a quiet calm, spelling of smiles that douse off any irritation Hyesung might want to start with the man. Other times he goes off as quiet as he has come, but the scribbled paper taped on the fridge marks his entry, usually with a signature clean sink if there are dishes not cleared the night before.

He guesses he would be missing him more than he has originally thought.

see you.

2008-10-09T15:32:09Z

Because you said it with a smile, we will too.
With all the love and support we could afford. <3
Though I can't promise that I won't be sad.

손 내밀고 기다리나요 날 찾나요 웃기만 하나요
혼자가 아니라 믿고 있는 건가요 아녜요
정말 혼자가 된걸 느껴봐요 조금 울어도 돼요
Are you waiting with open hands?
Are you looking for me..
Or are you just laughing..
Are you believing that you're not alone?
No.. You have to know how it feels like to be truly alone
It's okay to cry a little.

On an old show (MBC Chunpa?), the Shinhwa members were asked what makes a bad friend:

Hyesung: The one who did not reply calls
Eric: The one who did not reply messages

~*~*~*

"Why do you always tell only half of the story?" the leader asked, ducking to the lower part of the fridge and lifting up containers in search for edible snacks. Minwoo walked past and snatched a pizza box, sniffing testily before deciding it was decent enough to be eaten. "He thinks it makes things interesting," he answered on behalf, shoving the leftovers to the other in an offer. Eric picked up one and they both turned to the subject in question, who was at the time, carefully cutting apples especially sent from Orange County. He did not seem to pay any heed.

Eric was about to let it go when he heard a soft reply. "It's not like I have a choice. At least I didn't lie," finally done, Hyesung looked up to the two, swiftly replacing the questionable pizza slices with the fresh fruits. "Your mom asked me to make sure you eat healthy," he added, showing the note tucked neatly with the parcel of home-grown apples which arrived just that morning. "I knew Dongwannie was right in planning the mission to have him moved nearer to you," Minwoo smirked and slapped Eric's back, promptly leaving the kitchen when he heard the doorbell rang with a muffled "Hyungggg~". Eric muttered something suspiciously sounding like a quick slurring of, "You're not the one having to face his tantrums upon finding out, though it was mostly only for show."

"Do you really think I owe it to them to tell why you gave me your house's PIN number?" Hyesung questioned easily, a smile playing at the corner of his lips. It was one of those times Eric half-wished the fans would know that the Shinhwa's leader was not always the biggest teaser around.

"Okay, good point. I won't let anyone know why you use that PIN too," Eric winked his winning smile.

It was good to live up to people's expectations, sometimes. Just unnecessary for the said people to know everything as well.

Reading Choi Jin Shil's suicide news this morning, I was numb.
Yet another one? This is very upsetting, to say the least. ._.
My heart goes out for her two children she left behind.
R.I.P.

Was just reading Junjin's interview article the other day.
He admitted that he attempted suicide twice.
I've never felt so grateful to have him around now, still.
Also for him to be in Shinhwa and is supported by his brothers in his times of need.
(Thank you, Kangta.)

I had wanted to put pictures of star-studded wedding reception of Kwon Sang Woo recently.
Finally the industry has something to celebrate, or so I thought.
I'm sort of glad I didn't?

I hope I won't have to read more heartbreaking news.
No more, please.

The line is getting too thin.

upside down.

"The natural world is full of disorder and so, by our flawed definition, the natural world is evil. We are immoral by design, and so when we act evilly, we are only revealing our most basic selves, the simplest, most convenient action, to fend for oneself and oneself only. To do right- to act justly, to put the needs of someone else above your own-now that is an act of true mystery, It is completely unnatural-a gigantic step beyond the jungle instincts of a man and a leap into the unknown wisdom of silent grace which lurks, harbored in the small vessel of mankind within us all."
