I still can't get it through my head that after August, we'll only be seeing each other at Christmas and over the summer. We've been together since the start, literally. We shared our mother's womb. Even though we fight from time to time and sometimes you refuse to cuddle with me, I know I'm going to miss you. Lots of twins are lucky to get to go to the same college, but we don't get that privilege. Knowing you, you probably wouldn't want that anyway because you'd have to actually see me every day

I can go there through meditation, reading poetry, listening to music, or just sitting quietly observing nature, and many times through dreaming. I have approached the exploration of the opposites

Introduction There are many misconceptions people have (myself included) when the topic of Rastafarianism enters into the conversation. Most non-Rastafarians do not hold the religion in high regard, and consider it just an excuse to get high and listen to reggae music all day.
