Memories can be so sweet but the future is even sweeter….. ~~~~~~~~~~~
Remember The sweet and sour aroma of reminiscence Inhaled one breath at a time Tour guide to my own life passing; all the detours and the stretched out highways Sceptic and believer in a handshake of friend and foe intensify these close encounters with me Memories glittering in a resplendent variety...

Do you feel a sense of envy when people tell you about their travels afar?
Adventurer They speak of sailing to Paris to eat duck confit Tell tales of arduous climbs up Machu Picchu or thirsty hikes across Indonesia with only Nikon and spoon Yawning yarns of adventure to look cool Rhapsodizing about the African wilderness Urban-myth forming experiences spill from the mouths...

Feeling the effects of a West Coast winter this “oldie” came to mind…

Collective thinking is not synonymous with everyone thinking the same way..
Swallow You don’t have to be seriously dumb to be fooled For even the simplest of things can addle the brain of the otherwise sensible When the face of evening is stained by red clouds or wounded by light even the leafless tree can be swayed by confusion It is purdent to be wary of the smile and...

"Life is like a rainbow. You need both the sun and the rain to
to make its colours" Rain In the soft capture of a raindrop there lies a morsel of the sky evidence therein of bigger than life Below, too calmness and vitality summer’s growth and winter’s slumber There is no danger in the cool drink of rains It is calm and patient harmless and stainless It...
