It was a slow day at the waterfront. Sitting on the dock and basking in the sun a coworker and I began to discuss more than the trivial matters of weather and dinner plans. The conversation turned to premarital sex. He said to me, “People don’t know how much they will hurt the person they will marry.” It was an intriguing statement.
I have been visiting National Parks since I was about four. Not the coolest place in the eyes of most teenagers, but to me and, from what I have seen, quite a few other human beings in the world they are enjoyable.
I've grown accustomed to the sounds of war in the distance...
Bombs tearing up the land around me, machine guns tat-tat-tatting into the wind...
And it's not because I live anywhere dangerous.
