‘Polarization is Just Pure Absurdity’

Posted on November 13, 2012 by Candia Sanders

“Curling Your Toes”

Posted on July 23, 2012 by Candia Sanders

We just watched a lovely and sweetly inspiring movie, Salmon Fishing in the Yemen. I would recommend it if you are in need of summer respite. It is the cultural bonding of two distinctively alien belief systems, the political media hype behind … Continue reading →

‘In the Beginning was the Word’

Posted on June 4, 2012 by Candia Sanders
