 #227 A bliss catalyst I prance through life with a frisk bringing others with #228 Inspired by Your Money or Your Life Your money or life take responsibility make yourself happy #229 Burdened by our debts barely scraping by context scarcity looming #230 Port de Bras Coordinated arm movements lend harmony to classical dance #231 Just a quick poem fast fast time pressure say it something interesting #232 Afghanistan cries girls learned freely, music played now Taliban kills #233 What have you to show for your time, life spent working; what products, your toil?
