Circles

there is going to be an intermission within these stories for the time being. nothing permanent. I'm just looking for a new way out and I think I have finally come full circle with this particular story. don't get left behind.. the past, though reflective, can be subconsciously intrusive. try not to get caught up in it all.

I've been keeping a notebook

"It all comes back. Perhaps it's difficult to see the value in having one's self back in that kind of mood, but I do see it; I think we are well advised to keep in nodding terms with the people we used to be, whether we find them attractive company or not. Otherwise they turn up unannounced and surprise us, come hammering on the mind's door at 4 a.m. of a bad night and demand to know who deserted them, who betrayed them, who is going to make amends. We forget all too soon the things we thought we could never forget.We forget the loves and the betrayals alike, forget what we whispered and what we screamed, forget who we were. I have already lost touch with a couple of people I used to be..."

The Great Wall of Los Angeles

The Great Wall of Los Angeles, located in the Tujunga Flood Control Channel in Valley Glen (San Fernando Valley), is the longest mural in North America as well as the largest monument of interracial harmony in the world. This panel of the wall memorializes the struggles and injustices imposed upon Japanese Americans in California during World War II. Designed between 1976-1984, The Great Wall is currently experiencing a massive restoration project. Keep it tuned... the world is changing before us!
