Mammon
“But it is not the rich man only who is under the dominion of things; they too are slaves who, having no money, are unhappy from the lack of it.” – George MacDonald — I wrote this poem after having… continue reading »
Jeremy Courtney is legit.
I’ve had this blog in my head for a while. I didn’t want to write it until I was home in the States. I didn’t want anyone to think Jeremy coerced me into writing it. I promise: no coercing took… continue reading »
