by Jimi Dean The beginning of a new life starts with some pain and a little bit of sorrow. I’ve been watching my mom for the last 5 years living on the road on her motorcycle. I was always envious of her for doing just that, living. So when the next chapter of my life [...]

The Grizzly, the Hawk, and the Wolf
Posted on 15. Sep, 2011 by admin.
By Tony Santoloci Coming through the cascades into Idaho, I saw the infamous Grizzly bear. Its brown furry huge frame scattered across the road as I passed him on my bike. I was glad to have witnessed him from the safety of a very fast machine, and not from my camp. Idaho like its state’s [...]

Posted on 12. Sep, 2011 by admin.
by Michelle Hope Written in 2008… Remembering, Lessons, and Time 7 years later… Smoke bellowed in the empty sky where the buildings once stood, as the gasps and screams of those watching filled the 34th floor of this midtown office building.
