      Dedication:

      For those who write in the name of true expression, because there are things that cannot be held in or hid from. For the health and human comfort of ourselves and others, We Write...

      Things to Remember:

      Know thyself and to thine own self be true .. The Holy Koran & William Shakespeare.

      When you hate what you’ve become I’ll love you anyway .. The GOD in Me

      Be warned in time and remain as I do, incomprehensible, To be great is to be

      misunderstood... Oscar Wilde

      The gifts of understanding shall be the treasures of us
