Dressed in Motley Camouflage
What would you do, if you could do anything? Are you sure? Who would you be, if you could be anyone? Do you know why? Who would help, if you could help anyone, anywhere? How would you choose? Have you ever wondered why the world is the way it is? Why, or why not? […]
The Myth of Twos
