Complexity is a pondering that prevents simplicity's misunderstanding in a world filled with the hunger of power's analytical hypnotism. Wherein lies the essence of sanity and at which point differentiates the yin of the soul from the yang of the mind? Lingering as a cloud of rotted responsibility is the perspective of purpos...

The sun winks its welcome overtop the hedge glinting its multiple rays through gems of liquid still clinging to the cool, crisp leaves, freshly trimmed. The weather is cool this time of year.

Many people would expect a typical story of an Americanized start to an education filled with hall passes, yummy bag lunches, and school bullies whose voices sound like Alvin and the Chipmunks.
