"Frog Applause reminds one of learning to read, in the sense that each word in the captions seems 'surprising' and new. Teresa's writing takes one back to that fresh state of mind (typical of, but of course not limited to, childhood) in which the brain, free of preconceptions, doesn't 'fill in' any blind spots along the way but rather wholly embraces the present moment as it unfolds. Every sentence is literally an imagination-expanding adventure." — Craig Conley, author of One-Letter Words: A Dictionary (HarperCollins)

Sidney Charity Still was born a slave in 1819. When she escaped to the North she had four children; escape forced her to leave two of them behind, in the care of her mother. Her son William was born in New Jersey and became known as the father of the Underground Railroad. Later, one of William’s older brothers escaped slavery, met him and was reunited with their mother; having learned where his remaining brother Peter lived, William managed to purchase freedom for him and his family.

Speaking of succulents (and orchids), I can’t stop the things from growing or flowering. I’m surrounded by them.

Some are evil; many aren’t. I’d hate to find myself faced with the decision Sidney Charity Still had to make.

If a succulent is on her knees you know she ain’t praying.
