I had a dream about you. You kept flunking your math finals and the prof said, "look, Seda, I know you're under a lot of stress with the kids and the job and all, I'll let you take it again tomorrow."

And you replied, "No, no, no, no, no!" in a very girly voice. "You see, I'm a girl and girl's can't do math."

HAH!!!!

Don't get so dinged about politics, dear, it's all a HUGE mess. But you give a bunch of people money that they didn't earn and, voila! you wonder why they're fooling in spending it? Holy moly!

hugs,
me

Security is mostly a superstition. It does not exist in nature, nor do the children of men as a whole experience it. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing. To keep our faces toward change and behave like free spirits in the presence of fate is strength undefeatable.
~Helen Keller

I have come into this world to see this:
the sword drop from men's hands even at the height
of their arc of anger
because we have finally realized there is just one flesh to wound
and it is His - the Christ's, our
Beloved's.
