Literacy is important. If we aren’t literate we can’t effectively process information whether we are debating, reading or writing. Freedom can be fickle in times like these but knowledge of all of history gives us an aperture into why people behave in the way they do.

Our opportune moment is now. What ever we have to do we must do . Moments are transient. We can’t recapture them. Our past is history. There is no future for we exist on linear time. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
What brands do you associate with? I am not into brands. Comfort and durability is my motto. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
