“The sky is blue.” Seeing that, what would your reactions be? No doubt you know someone who, if you said, “The sky is blue” would start an argument. Many months I wrote in a particular forum, “the sky is blue” with no other comments or explanation. Some were confused, but others understood the point. It […]

Rock exposed to the harshness of life; The storms of nature form rocks of strife. Rock bathed in the waters all around; Slowly, hurtful, hurting edges drowned.
