  • Amor fati

    The rains have begun. The apples have fallen off the tree, now in a circular path, arranged as if some protective ring of abundance and color against the harsh concrete. She sits in the chair, under the failing roof designed as a pergola, designed as a shelter. The grass is returning to the color of… Continue Reading

An old pool, filled with cedar from trees planted through seeds carried in the wind, now shading and adding voice. A girl dives into the water—the unpristine water with its cool clear passages—and emerges… Continue Reading

    Michael Ratner, the President of the Center for Constitutional Rights, and one of the lawyers for Julian Assange believes Manning is being mistreated in prison, and that his case is being stalled, intentionally, in hopes that Manning will turn against Julian Assange, and in a sense, deliver him to the US Authorities.
