I Live And Die With The Chicago

I'm At The Atheist End Of The Agnostic Spectrum.

I Grew Up In Conservative Rural Kansas In The 1950s When It Was Expected That Girls Would Not Have A Life Outside The Home, So Educating Them Was A Waste Of Time

I Look At The Great Poets Of The Soviet Union, Like Anna Akhmatova, Who Endured Far Worse Then Anything We've Seen Or Hopefully That We Will Ever See. If They Could Keep Writing And Keep A Voice Alive, Keep People Hopeful Through Their Poetry, Then I Would Be Ashamed To Stop And To Give In. It Would Be Really Self-indulgent, Unacceptable, And Inexcusable To Walk Away From It.

I'm Very Honoured That There Is A Loyal Following And I Hope It Continues

Sometimes Life Seems So Painful It Hurts Even To Move My Arms.
