My imagination tends to fly in a million directions and it takes a cage to keep it focused.

I have a collection of flowers, vases, all kinds of bells and some really amazing pieces from all over the world. Packing them, I am tempted to throw them in a bin and see what survives. However ai would…

Among my relatives there are stories of oppression, of the need to breathe free, to find a new home. America was the land of opportunity, hope and dreams. My relatives came through…
