The ‘Real’ Me

I feel real as it is the only reality I know. A wild theory suggests that we are living in a simulation. Will that change the manner in which we act or react?

GREAT INDIAN BAN PARTY-

Playing at a theatre near you

17 Anonymous 19 November 2017By Neel Anil Panicker

Grandma’s Legacy: A Poem by Bette A. Stevens

Bette A. Stevens's avatarBette A. Stevens, Maine Author

grandmas-legacy-basGrandma’s Legacy is a poem that I wrote several years ago in honor of a truly great woman—Elizabeth A. Babcock, born January 1, 1898, died January 1, 1975. Grandma lives on in the hearts and memories of all whose lives she touched. The photo ( circa 1952) of me and Grandma was taken by my dear father, one of Grandma’s eight children.  ~ Bette A. Stevens
