There are two races in this world that are set up like a chess board. There are the Firmissimam (white), descendants of the human race, who are least affected by the distortion. Then there are the Contaminavit (black) who were fully affected by the distortion, which causes their souls to ...

Healing through Art

HippieVan at 12:00AM, April 8, 2016


Some very calming public art in my city - The Leo Mol sculpture garden.
