The title of tonight’s musing certainly sounds like something out of a Lewis Carroll novel, but in the radio silence of my last month without chronicling, I’ve discovered that, what really felt like pivoting, was, in fact, just me trying to go up the down staircase.

On his social media account, one of my favorite actor/singers living inContinue reading “Love In The Time Of Corona: What Else Now? Reaching A Threshold”

United, we stand. Divided, we fall. John Dickinson, Founding Father, “Liberty Song” I first heard this motto in my middle school Pre-AP History class, and my ear caught the two words: united and divided.
