Cahla's Tawkin': from the Archives.... Carla Scheri

"From The Archives.... Cahla's Tawkin'" is a collection of essays written between July 2001 and June 2005. Most are in reaction to current events of that particular place in time. In this era of lightning quick, 24/7 media, we experience a revolving door of news items-each important event instantly displaced by the next. "From the Archives.... Cahla's Tawkin'" creates a timeline of current events as they collide with the life of an everyday observer. We all attach memories and feelings to times, places, and instances of note, both worldly and deeply personal. Feelings can never be discounted; yours or anyone else's. We all have them. We all feel. Sometimes we judge. Sometimes we empathize. Sometimes we feel helpless, perplexed by the world around us. At some point, we all feel like we are outside looking in, which in turn proves the theory that all sides of the story must be acknowledged to gain the full perspective. Whether examining the nature of racial profiling after September 11, or ruminating on the death of the Pope, Cahla's Tawkin' offers one woman's opinionated perspective of the whirling, twirling planet we call home. You might agree. You might not agree. But you should read "From The Archives...." just to find out.
