by Tony Shea August 28, 2013

Beauty, like life, is transitory and fleeting. But somewhere along the way, each of us inhabits a perfect moment when we’re at our very best, the zenith of our development, as some small recompense for the fact that every single one of us is going to end up a corpse – most likely embalmed by […]

Where’s the Love for Utopia?

by Jay Hood August 20, 2013
