Puzzle #509

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

These are the rules:

You may only guess one letter at a time.
After you have guessed a letter, you must wait for another player to guess a letter before you can go again. (see also rule #9)
The host of the game responding to a guess does not count as a turn. Should you choose a letter, then receive a response from the member host, you must wait for the next member to guess a letter.
One point will be awarded for each correct letter, 2 points for vowels.
Only six misses are allowed in the game.
If you wish to guess the phrase, send it to me via Pet Talk Private message. (This is accessible via the 'PM' or 'Profile' buttons on any of my posts). DO NOT post it on the forum. If you wish to guess a letter, post it on the forum.
You must have submitted a correct letter to submit your solution. Unlike letters, if you submit a wrong solution, you are disqualified from continuing in that puzzle.
The player who correctly guesses the phrase wins the game. If no one has guessed it correctly after six misses, then the player with the most points wins the game.
Only 5 guesses allowed in total until the host updates the puzzle. Any guess after 5, before the next update, won't be counted as a guess. And as always, someone else has to guess a letter before you can guess another letter.

And here is what you win ... you get to create the next puzzle.

(Should you win the game and do not care to host the next puzzle, you may pass it to the member with the next highest points)

Have fun! :) Back to song lyrics....

OK - clock is ticking! I will not be around after tomorrow noon (I don't know if the campground has wi-fi). LET'S GET THIS SOLVED!

OK, ok...sending PM

Catty 1 has the puzzle!!

Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of man

From “Ripple“ -- Robert Hunter

She will be hosting the next....it may not be immediate, but I'll leave that for her to post. Thank you all for participating!!

This song is very close to my heart. I have heard it performed many times by various bands related to the Grateful Dead (The Dead,The Other Ones, The Jerry Garcia Band, Further....) as well as other bands not associated. It's a beautiful piece. For those interested, here are the rest of the lyrics...

If my words did glow with the gold of sunshine
And my tunes were played on the harp unstrung
Would you hear my voice come through the music?
Would you hold it near, as it were your own?


It's a hand-me-down, the thoughts are broken
Perhaps they're better left unsung
I don't know, don't really care
Let there be songs to fill the air


Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow


Reach out your hand if your cup be empty
If your cup is full may it be again
Let it be known there is a fountain
That was not made by the hands of man


There is a road, no simple highway
Between the dawn and the dark of night
And if you go, no one may follow
That path is for your steps alone


Ripple in still water
When there is no pebble tossed
Nor wind to blow


You who choose to lead must follow
But if you fall, you fall alone
If you should stand, then who's to guide you?
If I knew the way, I would take you home
