Starved For AffectionThe dreams came more frequently now. Often, she wasn't even sure she was dreaming; a blessing, she supposed during her more coherent moments.

Be Different. Be Amish.It occurred to me recently that being "punk" is now "cool". It didn't used to be that way. My husband was punk back when his parents basically shunned him from family life for having a mohawk, and stores like Hot Topic didn't exist.

Since the day of her great and glorious vision she treasured the promise in her heart, kept in a secret place where not even her beloved was allowed to go.
