Writer's Festival

Sorry I've been away-I will catch up now!  I attended a writer's festival at my college a week and a half ago and writer Jimmy Cvetic read a poem consisting of random words and phrases from around the world and from history thrown together.  It made me think of all the different languages of the world and all the history we come across in our lifetimes, whether from reading in books or traveling and experiencing it firsthand.  Everything that's happened in the last century alone is a lot, not even considering the thousands of years that came before.
