I used to wear the suspenders. You know, the ones with horizontal rainbows. (Back when rainbows didn’t have duel meanings.) I used to separate my fingers; pointer and middle, with ring and pinky, and shake them furiously up and down with my cousin Kristy saying, “Na Nu Na Nu”. As children, “Mork from Mindy” was a […]
Why We Must Refuse to Hate those that Behead Children. UNITE
I see them in the desert, the wandering ones. Those caught up with nothing but sky to cover them. No earthly possessions…Just the feet of oppression carrying them to places unknown.
