We are the Dreamers

We are the dreamers,The ones who wait for the dawn,The ones who twist and turn,The ones who find promise after the rain,The ones who crouch to pray away the pain.We are the dreamers,The ones who reflect on past burdens,The ones who sigh often,The ones who walk among trees,The ones whose hope sets us free.Hope isContinue reading “We are the Dreamers”

Technological Changes on the Horizon: The Covid Effect

The year is 2035, and we are in our third year of lockdown to protect ourselves from Covid-23.  We retained very little of the lessons learned when it all began towards the end of 2019, as far as we know.  The nature of school and work changed, and some will say for the better.
