Why can’t we control the weather?

WHY CAN’T WE CONTROL THE WEATHER? BY ELEANOR LERMAN 34THPARALLEL MAGAZINE ISSUE 46

People are always trying to control the weather, in their personal relationships, their work environment, or in the big-picture areas of human destiny.

Why don’t you love me?

TRIGGER HAPPY BY KAYLA BACKER 34THPARALLEL MAGAZINE ISSUE 46
