I remember not the words, but the tune was simple and taunting, catching my attention when it went up and down and when it prolonged in one loving note.

Truth
"In seeking truth you have to get both sides of the story." Walter Cronkite. Our society seems to be lost in finding the truth!

Sometimes, I can go the local choke and puke to order … Continue reading Invisible, Surrounded in a Crowd
