PTSD (Veterans and Civilians). Domestic Violence and Sexual Abuse. Every Life is a Memoir. Empowerment Through Art and Storytelling. October 31, 2015. A Candle for the Number. By Claire St. Hilaire. On this thirty-first day of October, I pause for a moment’s reflection. I take time to remember the forgotten. Not those whose lives fill the pages of history’s book. But those whom the ancient texts overlook. It is easy to read a number written on paper or carved into stone. Commemorating the dead unknown.

Quinoa. Photo credit Christian Guthier. The shibbolethic (is that a word? Has puzzled me for some time.
