Wisdom of Kammbia 4.3: It’s Only A Story……
by MHill | Oct 15, 2016 | Wisdom From Kammbia Column
For those who have said, "It's only a story." Here's one of the best defenses against that phrase: “It’s only a story.” I’ve heard that sentence a lot of over the years. It seems that stories and those who tell them are considered to be second or even third class...

by MHill | May 22, 2016 | 2016 Book Reviews, Marion's Favorite Books

"Human beings live in ideas. That they were condemning their descendants to death and extinction did not occur to them, or if it did they repressed the thought, ignored it, and forged on anyway. They did not care as much about their descendants as they did about their...
