And I don’t feel any excitement inside. The glaring truths do not change. Eulogistic greetings are bartered for future complicity … Continue reading Reena’s Exploration Challenge #Week 27

The universe follows its own schedule, and it might be slower or faster than our earthly systems. But it sells, when it is touted … Continue reading Reena’s Exploration Challenge #Week 23
