Posted on November 3, 2016 by

It’s all connected. You know those moments of realization? The epiphany, they call it, when you suddenly figure it out. All at once, you see the pattern, the shape of things becomes clear. The past tells you the future, and … Continue reading →

Posted on March 23, 2016 by
