Fires ablaze, the winds rough enough to spread mayhem and catastrophe. People left homeless. Such is the mood of January in LA as a world watches and weeps at the plight of one another
Power shifts and power sits. With its quota of conspiracy theories on an important and significant day of memories
One significant question is posed: “where can we find light in this never-ending shade?”
