We have even fought hard to defend your privacy in legal cases; however, we've done it with almost no financial support -- paying out of pocket to continue providing the service.

I'm not sure if this was what you had in mind, but this is what the muse insisted on:


The sun and the night sky possess their own allures, but it's always the Earth itself that calls to her. Her dark eyes widen and her nostrils flare as she recalls the beauty of her garden and its rich mélange of odors: loam, mulch, last night's rain, and the glorious, heady scent of the roses that stubbornly refused to grow underground. She misses the rough caress of the soil against her fingertips even though it always left behind black telltale crescents beneath her otherwise tidy nails.

She has the white room now--and other ways of getting her hands dirty.
