Dreams and the Dark Times
About five months ago, I had a dream so clear and precise that even now I can close my eyes and see the scene unfold before me in intricate detail. It opened with me alone, clutching tightly a blue and white pottery shard I had found in my trip to Greece last year. It may Continue reading

Peace, Darkness and the Tree
