ABC Wednesday - P is for Pen

This week ABC Wednesday, the letter of choice is P.

P is for Pen - often considered mightier than the sword.

Except in these authoritarian times, despots are trying to desperately silence the pens of those who oppose their despotic regimes.

The pen must be used to give voice to the voiceless and the oppressed. The pen must point  with truth to the unjust oppressors who are trying o take away the rights of minorities.

Truth and democracy will prevail.

This week at ABC Wednesday, M is our focus.

M is for Mask -which has several meanings. With Hallowe'en soon here, masks will be in abundance, from simple ones to cover the eyes, or ones to hide a face

To mask  means to conceal or disguise.

In art, a mask is used as a screen.

For health reasons, we wear a mask to protect and for sleep, we use a C-PAP to help keep our airways open.

ABC Wednesday -I is for Igloo

This week at ABC Wednesday, I is the letter of focus.

I is for igloo - the winter structure built from snow blocks by the Inuit.

It is an amazing feat of ingenuity - to create a warm abode from snow and ice, and usually in a relatively short time. Inuit  still use igloos when hunting.
