It is all that matters. 27.02.1999 The end of one journey initiated her into another. A sojourner she came to be in the new world, where her feet could feel the earth and air she could breathe. Like all the others before her, she cried at the feel of what had become her new home. She wrapped her warm, tiny, palm around her bearer’s finger; the first thing she touched and felt.

TALLYING DREAMSFaith lies on her left side staring at the only thing she convinced herself understood her, the wall bearing tally marks which she is never late to update. Today is day 646, another new day that no one knows what it will bring forth. Regardless, Faith is as energetic as always to write a new story, perhaps one that will inspire, teach or for once bring her good luck. She gets up picks a piece of chalk on the drawer and adds a mark on the wall then takes a step back and stares at it. 646 days of dreaming, hoping, laughing,...
