six years has almost passed since I first came here I do not remember why, but in here one cold Janurary evening into this place I stumbled. It's been so long yet it feels like yesterday, I was kindly and warmly met and greeted by people I did not yet know, Here I found my sanctury, my peace My friends. Likeminded people I met people with open hearts Willing to accept Accept this lion for all he is. Through all my wrongs and all my rights it was here I found a home in my friends hearts. My ode to Hip was brief and can not ever reflect How grateful I am for this place.
