Just a Thought

For better or worse, sometimes I only have a single, unqualified thought. This seemed as good a place as any to drop off some shareable quotes, poetry and a nuisance idea for those who need a shot.

Radical

Radical - Sermo Humilis

In the 20th century, being radical meant pursuing your lusts uninterrupted with multiple strangers.

Building on The Rock - Sermo Humilis
