Dreams, Dates and Global Dilemmas
I have been having some strange dreams of late. A few nights back I had a dream that I was with a friend. This friend I have never met in person and, of course, it was the music of Simple Minds that brought us together. I really admire this person greatly. She has such self-belief…
