I was born on the cusp between Pieces and Aries in 1952 to teenage parents who were themselves making a life on the cusp between the Jim Crow South and the somewhat more subtle Jim Crow North.

But the boiling cauldron of the middle world is ever changing, undulating between creation and destruction, abhorring permanence - perspectives ever shifting.
