well geez, Laura - I (and maybe some others on-list, not
to name any names, eh?) thought that I had that territory all staked out...
at least you could do it on-list and relate it to the text:
is your depression akin to
Kit's - in selling out his dreams, making a bad bargain
Yashmeen's - in not knowing her real ancestry and being forced
away from her sources of inspiration by intrigues and a game
in which she is only a pawn
Reef's - in allowing creature comforts to divert him from revenge
Prance's - in losing his faith in God, transferrring it to
Empire and losing faith in that?
Dalley's - in finding herself though in the city of her
dreams, still visibly American?
but seriously, hope you have whacked the moles of malaise...

won't be there no more - any major dude will tell you"
