OK

Then we get started.And we’re off to a good start. And you are too.

A twisting yellow lined road between trees.

Open waters.Clear blue sky. As the stories say.

Where they went, we may never know. We don’t care as we see bright-eyed looks of pure certainty and the crinkles of smiles.

In every downward slide there is, somewhere, a solid footing.

As it’s you who needs to stand on solid ground some of the time, look at your own stance. Ignore the others.

You are the doorman we’ve searched across galaxies to find.

Upstart magic and super-fluency.

The persuasive hawker of highly heralded handheld history books, was in town again.

The last time she was seen was in 1820 and before that, in 1707.

A frond fell silently with the sure knowledge it would land. That’s the nature of understanding a palm tree enjoys.

The babes learn from the wiser perhaps, sometimes accurate, elders.

But these lines of separation are wasteful deceptions.

That’ll do.
