You could send a check. But if she’s been reminding you of the date for months; comparing her entertainment line-up to Hamilton, you really do need to attend. I’m joking. But even if I wasn’t, I’d never want to let her down. She’s been

Write of Way Write good to me. Loyal, generous, honest. But not too. Still, I’m a little fearful of round table seating. It makes me feel like I’m ten years old again waiting for the popular kids to reject me. So I always try to find at least one person I can see myself making small talk with. One woman looked interesting enough. At least I wanted to think her tree-of- life earrings meant she might be fun. I put my coat over the back of the chair next to hers and we got to talking. Of course we did. I wish I could say it’s possible to recognize what side of an issue someone is on based on earrings alone, but one should never make such assumptions. Now, I’m a little sensitive about immigration, I feel protective. The more my tablemate drank, the more obnoxious she became, and we were only halfway through our salads. And so came the probe. “But your parents came legally, right? They didn’t come expecting a free ride?” I wanted to say, free ride? How many immigrant’s do you know who want that? Most come to work at kitchen or field labor. I’m sure you didn’t raise your son to move on down to Fresno to hand pick tomatoes. But to answer your question directly, no, I don’t think my family came legally, they came desperately. It’s why they were called WOPS. Without Papers. The legal process began after they arrived. Oh, and one other thing: May you never have to run for your life. I didn’t say this. I sat there with a big fat fake smile on my face, trying to be socially-correct where the worst thing you can say is the truest thing you feel. The polite thing to do is just say, “Excuse me,” and pretend to see someone you know across the room. I did know someone! At the head table. After congratulating my friend (she raised a ton of money for a scholarship program), I passed two women discussing Good Friday, “What’s so good about it again? I can’t remember.” “It’s when Jesus rose from the dead.” “Was it before or after he walked on water?” They laughed. “My first husband thought he could walk on water, too, but my lawyer showed him just how quickly you can go under.” Every once in a while you overhear someone who knows how to make easy, light, irreverent conversation, who reminds you that it’s possible to be sassy and bold and respectful all in the same breath. Not that it’s ever smart to assume. But I pulled up a chair anyway. I’ve replayed a lot of the evening over and over in my mind, looking for a reason I should have stayed home in my sweats, but I can’t find one. It was a really good cause. And the entertainment was top notch. Mary Lou Sanelli Mary Lou Sanelli is an author, speaker and dance teacher.

In a citrus grove in spring, the wind distributes the pollen, then Goya admired the maverick monarch Napoleon, but when his army gestation happens and hence, flora sprouts from her mouth. Spring invaded Spain, Goya experienced war firsthand. In addition to personified as the maiden carries a bunch of flowers and petals. conveying sympathy for the victims of war, he showed how the French Mercury as Wind on one side of the canvas. The three Graces, soldiers were also victims, with their “just follow orders” mindset. intertwining all 30 fingers, signify love for humanity. In the center,

Cued: five prisoners, decay and endings. Do not let spring fool you, she begs, relish in all including a tonsured monk. On one side: a mound of three dead. On the elements: Talk to the wind so no one will hear you, look to Cupid’s the other side, a group awaits the firing squad which functions as aims if you’ve lost direction, gaze at Mercury, for when he appears, a single unit. Each of the Spaniards bearing a long shot-gun—their it’s only an illusion. The fruit and flowers depicted in that painting hat-shaded faces are staring into the eye holes, their stance is leaning couldn’t have existed in nature at the same time. But the artist could balanced on a collective bent knee. Kneeling prisoner in the center—lit not consider realism, the way grass grows upward and green, and how by a lantern between the killers and the killed.

As for Venus, she can name the flowers and fruit, but she can to eight.

The blood of these war-captured stains the ground disappears into a stronghold of roots destined to rot to the core, the core of the earth where men trod mindlessly over the amount of blood it takes for the work to be done. They will not reap what they sow, but the cells will descend and inhabit the soil, inhabit the land which grows the bread that these soldiers will deliver home and break for their children to eat.
