There are only two issues.

One, two, solved.

Now, for breakfast, we will have a bottle of maple syrup on the table. But we will not eat any of it.

We are here to admire art, watch trout swim in the river and admire the sunset.

Nothing else.

There’s mindful presentness for you.

Did we say “hello!”?

Did we say yes? 

Of course, after your persuasive reasoning and the great story you told about the benefits.

If you can erase a fear, bring delight or convince that you will solve solve a problem, the basket of fruit and the case of diamonds is yours for the asking. 

You can only offer what you can offer. 

Anything else….it’s just not you.

Thanks for the memories.

I always take the room with a view.

Even paying more or waiting longer to get that vista, it’s worth it.

Then, waking up in the morning, only one glance at “the view” is enough to make the months of work to earn this price, the hours pacing the streets after a flight that had no end, eating up the time until the best room they are pleased to give me is prepared and ready.

But then, I really like staying in hotels.

Or perhaps, I like hotels because of that view!

Slow strolling visitors and fast Olympic competitors competed for road and pavement space.

This was not a competition announced.

But it was a competition forefront in people’s minds.

At one time the danger of the motor car moving at 25 miles per hour seemed enormous.

Now the danger to pedestrians of fast pedaling cyclists has come to the fore.

How to improve the situation, there’s the million spoke question.

Sending a long list.

There was a lot to read, this time all valuable and well considered.

The car showrooms were full of people looking, taking a test drive, buying and driving away in gleaming styled machines.

Normal can be, well….pretty normal.

We are still thinking anf feeling beings.
