Make visible what, without you, might perhaps never have been seen.

"Play the game for more than you can afford to lose…only then will you learn the game."
Winston Churchill

"Being born a woman is an awful tragedy… Yes, my consuming desire to mingle with road crews, sailors and soldiers, bar room regulars - to be a part of a scene, anonymous, listening, recording - all is spoiled by the fact that I am a girl, a female always in danger of assault and battery. My consuming interest in men and their lives is often misconstrued as a desire to seduce them, or as an invitation to intimacy. Yet, God, I want to talk to everybody I can as deeply as I can. I want to be able to sleep in an open field, to travel west, to walk freely at night…"
Sylvia Plath

Take My hand. We can hide in the corner.

Like it or not, we either add to the darkness of indifference and out-and-out evil which surrounds us or we light a candle to see by

The light shines in the darkness and the darkness has not understood it.
John 1v5

"I have always tried to let the truth irradiate the history", (Philip Pullman).

Good to see you R...

As I seek to give R's story a shape that our society might find acceptable, I myself am altered, bruised, crushed.

"An endless stream of people dragged the story behind them but were yet drawn forward by it", (Ismail Kadare).

R, as I bring your story with me, may I only ever be drawn forward.
