The Beginning of Fate
When we think of books that have changed or shaped us in one way or another, we always think of books that are already published. We may think of one of the classics such as "The Great Gatsby" by F. Scott Fitzgerald, or maybe we think of "Fahrenheit 451" by Ray Bradbury. We may even think of some other classics that we had to read in middle school, high school, or college at one point or another.

Reading "The Star of Kazan"
I don't remember how old I was when I was given a book written by Eva Ibbotson called The Star of Kazan, though I probably was in my preteen years. The one thing I know for sure is that as soon as I read the book, it quickly became my favorite. I reread it constantly, sometimes from beginning to end and other times just some favorite snippets. To this day I occasionally skim through it with a smile.

The Eye of the World. Runner-Up in Book Club Challenge.
When I turned twelve, my mother lent me a paperback novel. She normally preferred to buy hardbacks, but this one wasn’t formatted in your typical six by nine-inch trim. It was an eight-hundred-page manuscript roughly the size and shape of a hardback. The cover art featured a warrior atop a huge black horse set against a full moon. Beside him in stark contrast rode a petite woman in blue carrying a staff and sitting astride a small but elegant white horse. I can still recall the tiny bat-like creature flying just under the title, ‘The Eye of the World’.

Now, I AM an Axolotl. Top Story - August 2023.
There was a time when I would think about axolotls a lot. I used to go look at them in the aquarium of the Jardin des Plantes and would stay there hours contemplating them, observing their immobility, their shadowed movements. Now, I am an axolotl. Hubo un tiempo en que yo pensaba mucho en los axolotl. Iba a verlos al acuario del Jardín des Plantes y me quedaba horas mirándolos, observando su inmovilidad, sus oscuros movimientos. Ahora soy un axolotl. JULIO CORTAZAR (1914-1987)

Impacts of War in Sudan
The war in Sudan has faded out of the news, and the country is on the brink of collapse. The fighting began in mid-April, and it continues to spread. There is always the sound of a fire somewhere, and the sound of an artillery shell. The war has not spared anyone, and the level and speed of death and destruction in Sudan is unprecedented. Here are 5 things you need to know about the war in Sudan: 1. Who is fighting in Sudan? General Abdel Fatah Al-Braham is the head of Sudan's armed forces, and General Muhammad Hamdan, also known as Dagalo, also known as Hemeti, leads the Rapid Support Forces (RSF), a powerful paramilitary group. In 2019, General Abraham and Hemeti were on the same.

Who's going to let you?
Howard Roark laughed. That is the first line of Ayn Rand’s The Fountainhead: an iconic sentence in its own right, and for me, one that set off an internal Rube Goldberg machine, with that first sentence being the first ball slowly starting to roll. The journey itself transcends the book and will never be finished, but the question of my self-worth, and the fact of my literal space on earth, took on deep hold that day, and has not let up since.

The Law of Seasons
The law of seasons Part 1 The Bible tells us that there are seasons and a time to every purpose under the heavens. There is a time to be born, a time to die, a time to plant, a time to pluck something that's been planted, a time to kill, a time to heal, a time to break down something, a time to build up, a time to weep, a time to laugh, and so on. There is also what is called "a time to embrace," "a time for war," "a time of peace." All intelligent students know what the common word in every sentence is- it's always "time." The Bible connects everything in life--from birth through death--to the passage of TIME. In First Chronicles chapter 12, verse 32, it is mentioned that among the children of Issachar, there were individuals who aided and had a deep understanding of the current circumstances. These individuals possessed knowledge of what Israel needed to do, and as a result, they were appointed as leaders with 200 heads and their brethren under their command. This passage emphasizes the importance of having an understanding of the times and knowing the appropriate actions to take. Moving on to the final verse, Psalm 90, verse 12, it presents a profound message for wise individuals. It urges us to learn the value of our limited time on Earth and to use it wisely. By recognizing the significance of each passing day, we can direct our hearts towards gaining wisdom. Let us reflect on this verse together and strive to apply its teachings to our lives.
