If they remind me of anything now, it's that singular idea. It travels further and deeper than the baggage of possibilities you pick up along...
...Passover, we eat charoset, a mixture of apples, wine, nuts and honey to remind us of the mortar that the Israelites had to use to build storehouses for the Egyptians.

In a world where some lovers dare not speak their name, silence will continue to kill. Let us join together in silence and break its hold on us forever...
