Yield Don’t Stop
If I let amazement stop my progress I will become landlocked instead of becoming free. Picture wagon wheels planted in Kansas when the destination had been California. Yes, the plains are great, but if that was not my aim it is a...

I woke up happy.
Oh, I had to get up in the dark and go to work,but my soul was happy and grateful.
Happy because I throughly enjoyed my week away from the daily grind,and grateful to have my inner peace restored.

bees suck petal-satin throats,
thrum a hum of multiverse,

His smile was big. His eyes were brown.He’d wink at me...

There was a time when countries showed each other some goodwill during the Eurovision Song Contest; when I, a seven-year-old, watched TV and was very much in love with Dana (All Kinds of Everything) from Ireland. Nowadays the song contest resembles a continuation of war by alternative means.
