Jokes aside, as beautiful and graceful as the Romanian bears are, they are abused and stripped of their dignity. Their homes, the forests, are rapidly disappearing, due to illegal deforestation. They keep showing up in cities or villages, in a desperate search for food, where they are killed with no remorse. If they show up on the road (like the bear in my pictures), people keep feeding them random stuff, thinking they're helping them, but actually making them dependent on humans and their help.

Don’t feel like you have to have wine in order to honor Dionysus. Or fear that He’ll be offended if you don’t like it for whatever reason. I’m just sharing a nice grape soda with Him right now and that’s good enough! It can be grape juice, grapes soda, sparkling grape juice, grape water flavorer (y’know like mio and all that), etc. lots of options to choose from and He enjoys all of them!

Mama I don't want kids, I say. For the hundredth time. Mother has this look on her face, it sits still- something between disappointment and bewilderment. But who will take care of you, she says, when you're older? And that is a rotten feeling. To believe that a child is only as good as what it does for its parents. To believe you are only as good as you give. To believe you owe someone, only to feel love. Who deserves this? Who deserves this wretched snarling beast sitting in my chest, whispering, shrieking- give, give, give.
