And you must not, ever, give anyone else the responsibility for your life."

Glistening dewdrops shimmer –
Warm awakening.

Literacy is the path from slavery to freedom. But there are many kinds of slavery and many kinds of freedom. But reading is still the path.

'Alarm’ was originally a call to arms.
The Italian phrase ‘all’arme!’ means literally “to arms” or “to your weapons.”
We'd still probably hit 'snooze.'

in the name of science they winched it
