This is not a new concept, the importance of knowing. Except, it’s one of those I keep saying ‘aha’ to. I really didn’t want that job at the television station even though it was amazing I’d gotten it. I really didn’t need to be married at the age of 23 even though you couldn’t tell…
One school day, I reached down into my kid’s book bag and pulled our a triangular scrap of paper. I asked what’s this. Oh something I wrote. And I asked him to read it to me. I was more than blown away. This is the translation. Black vs. White “Ya’ ready?” said White. ”Yeah!” said…
