    Marie lived with him for years.  Sometimes he would get angry and lash out, but it was only occasional.  The yelling wasn’t too bad.  And the bruises and scars would heal up.  The worst part was the embarrassment when her friends would ask about him.  She would deny his abuse...

    A vision is a seeing of the future, powerful enough to help create that future. Envision what could be with me that we might re-create what is. I see a city that would welcome the homeless as neighbors and equal citizens I see a city that would create space for everyone to...
