We have been seeing things in black and white, lately, I have noticed
Adventures Of The Slightly Tame But Better With Perspective Kind
How can it be that, sometimes, an action so normal and straight forward seems able to take on a life of its own and become the most difficult thing to complete?
And In Our New Era Of Living More Respectfully
The language of her body told me everything I needed to know.
To Stay At Home Or To Go Out
We are said to be the most social of animals, yet we must now find a way to avoid being true to our nature.
Grey With A Cloud Of Old-English Melancholy
I am drawn to the quiet. To the rundown. To the old and historic, yes, but places away from where the tourists disembark their coaches. Places that are a little rough, perhaps, and those that have, almost certainly, experienced brighter times and better days.
Weather To Walk Dogs By
Heavy set clouds hanging low over rolling, grey / green fields of winter-short grass, lazily dancing in time to the wind, swirling up through a gap in the cliffs way down below by the beach.
People Matter - Number Two of an Occasional Series - Neil
Authentic.
A simple word that means genuine, not false or copied

And when the weather got wetter and wilder, it drove me inside to dry out and warm up. I chose the nearest and most convenient place and, by chance or by luck, take your pick, it also happened to be the coolest.

Simple words for a change
And Yet She Continued To Help Him Be The Best That He Could
She liked to think that she was helping him to be the best that he could be, and to maybe fulfill some of the dreams and desires that he managed to keep hidden most of the time.
The Secret Of Happiness And An Empty Park Bench
So right now I am grateful for early morning walks and unexpectedly beautiful sunrises, especially when the night has been long and sleepless.
