Green Peace
I am green and it'll do fine, it's beautiful And I think it's what I want to be- Kermit Yesterday I cleared out all the old things which had once been new. It's somewhat of a year end ritual. Objects representing markers of time; cards, books, janky clutter and those articles of clothing that waded…Read more Green Peace

La Postal
Hi, How was your weekend? I hope it was restful. Life is so complex; I mean, it's beautiful but it doesn't exactly come with an instruction manual. There's the word and fairy tales but sometimes we find ourselves in a story gap. Yea? This morning on my run (which I had to do early before…Read more La Postal
