Everyone has a nemesis called Time, and it is feared by all. I know it is there; can hear it breathe; it is following my every move, watching me, Nipping at my toes, wanting me like my last curtain call. I dare not look back, for I know it is there like a crazed banshee.… Continue reading Time
Had to write today, had to express this. The 9/11 tragedy weighing too heavy, too painful, and too hard to reminisce. All this hate in the world, so hard to dismiss.
