Yes, it is liberating and so wonderful to find the historians supporting our imaginative lives.

Always, always, always uplifting to see and hear you, Bernardine. It matters to some of us that you are out there in the world, so keep on your journey, and thank you so much.

Dreamers remember their dreams when they are disturbed;And you shall not escape what we will make of the broken pieces of our lives.

What terrible thing can you do us which we have not done to ourselves? What can you tell us which we didn’t deceive ourselves with long time ago?
