There's no way to describe the joy I felt a week ago when I stood on a corner of a busy Ohio street and held the handmade sign out for passebys to see. An estimated 1000 protesters showed up in a very conservative district to show the biggest
For my education, and most teens in the US during the 90s, it required a few years of French (or Spanish, German or Latin) which has served me well in life. I travelled during college and got to speak a sentence or two. I call that success. It has also

It's hard when you try and try to keep peace and calm, but all that surrounds you is chaos and destruction. Sweat and tears, work and more work. You can't hold on to joy , you can't make it happen. You can choose it, but
The other night I had a very good dream. It wasn't that the dream was all that impactful or long, but the memory of the dream is soothing. I should probably explain something interesting. I tend to have full feature length dreams fairly often, meaning about once a
