The Republic We Were Meant to Keep
The United States is not a monarchy. It is also not a democracy, at least not a direct or pure one. What we have is a constitutional republic, a system of government designed with layers of accountability, separation of powers, and checks and balances so that no single ruler, party, or majority can dominate the rest. Our representatives are democratically elected, but their authority is limited by the Constitution. The will of the people matters, but only within the guardrails of law. That distinction is the cornerstone of liberty.

The Forgotten Fields: Part VI – Tennis
I. The Pop of the Racket It begins with a sound... A sharp pop! The crisp collision of a faded ball against a wooden racket. Sneakers skid against sunbaked asphalt. Cicadas hum somewhere in the distance. A chain-link fence rattles as a wild serve bounces wide. The net sags just a little too low in the middle.

Behind the glamour, the diamonds, and the dazzling lights was someone fragile and real, someone who longed to be understood.
