Looking Deeply, Letting Go Completely Series

Contributed by Steven Simala Grant on Mar 5, 2013

Sat there at the restaurant or stood there at the theater or paced at the airport and rehearsed all the things you were going to say when the culprit finally showed up?

Introduction: The civil war is brewing. Did you see the young lady on the news? She was one of those marching in protest to the election results.
