Are we only obsessed with who we are and what we want to become on a material scale? Do we see how fallible we are, that we who believe we have the world in our hands cannot stop ourselves from dying? The season teaches us that change is the only occurring factor in life. We […]
The past can only be used as a toolkit in the present. If we dissect our past, disembowel it of all the pain inflicted on us, it points the way out of our present depredation. Lessons learned can never be repeated. © Norma Bobb-Semple 2025
