The Patchwork of an Unfolding Story

Although the room does not look organized, it is. Although it looks like a mix of this and that, it tells the story of a life and a family. In one room. My eyes move from one spot to another. A smile forms and so does a tear. The shaman drum. I remember the circle […]
