The image of God
No one has ever seen God and proved that they actually saw it. I believe if there is heaven any where it is on this earth. And if there is God then it is a woman.Men from centuries had taken control of everything. They had created a culture where they have all the power and women are the slaves. They had molded women to believe and behave inferior ...  more...

The girl had come to me, an old beggar, seeking my help. I wish I had refused her then. You can never imagine how terrible it is to die with no loved one near.

Juno is refreshingly sweet ;)
Juno walks the thin line between being light or ridiculous, between being frank or vulgar and comes out on tops.
