Those wonderful conversations with the volleys and bright banter of beingness.

Then, there were the moments when the wind howled out conversation – nothingness.

Times when the sun was setting beautifully and stunning us – momentousness.

Other epic brilliant broadcasts of better beginnings – ideas.

And most of these we remember like a titanium picture – never to fade.

Many splendid others too!

Sandy said to go ahead to Mandy.

We were about to sail down the coast from the port of the north, to the port in the middle.

We had no experience on the water.

It was hilarious.

Fortunately due to Dan the skipper, it was safe.

We arrived as the sun set.

Our mast was the tallest in the harbour.

That fact got us fast access to the front of the line at “Scupper and Sway”, the best nightclub at the marina.

We also learnt a little bit about sailing.

Philosophers decide to wear red coats.

Yes. Bright red and extraordinarily visible.

They think it makes them more desirable.

It does make them feel cheerful every morning as they don the fine fabric and fasten buttons top to toe.

The question today is what color should everyone else wear?

Or, is that even a question?

Sun.

And Moon.

Which we are looking at is not clear.

Perhaps an eclipse, perhaps extremely strong dark sunglasses.

But people are strolling in t-shirts.

Perhaps it’s during shining sun in the daytime, seems more plausible.

Forgetting about politics for a few minutes.

Your friend and correspondent.

Chocolate bells toll quietly.

I never thought of that as a problem when I was a child.

But a childish thought about this matter came to mind after eating a festive Christmas dinner in a Western country.

What if the bells melted on a hot day before tolling time?

And would anyone hear the sound of chocolate cracking as it was percussed by a chocolate ringer on any other day?

It seemed, fleetingly, important.
