united, at last

December 24, 2008

a strange day

December 1, 2008

Something strange is going on today. I can feel a very unusual energy on this first day of December. By the first 2 hours of my waking moment, I heard 2 very big news, life changing news, albeit they don’t affect me directly. Then I had lunch with my mom for the second time during [...]
