- Transcription
- to be just another day, I see things in my mind that are unlikely to ever happen... my negativity toward men... starting with Dad... on to all the men who've passed through. This is not very enlightening. And I don't have a working solution.The meaning of Christmas: an acknowledgment of Christ's birth... this baby, this light that came into the world... this teacher of love... this radical teacher of radical love.
