Pause, take a deep breath. Then, think whether the word is a good one to use.

This could save the world.

Now….hope I didn’t really slip up…!

It’s good to know you read this, thank you.

A party is really a vacation with limited travel.

The sheer unconcerned visitor will enjoy every single celebration and, be thought of afterwards as the best guest.

Did they invite the one who ate a sandwich with his caviar?

Will the champagne shuffler sit or stand?

Forget all that.

Don’t even think about them.

Being a tourist is the best bet.

You get to be cheerful and everyone else tries their best for you.

Besides it’s “fun”.

And, you might meet “y”.

Time is not running out.

Time does not run, it walks.

That is if you allow it.

Time is on your side may seem like a spittable utterance.

But if you stop wrestling with, threatening and exclaiming at it, it can be swayed into shape; tailored to your needs.

Just don’t be intimidated by it. Massage it, manage it and influence it.

Your friend, Time.

Who’s the guru now!?

It was the best of times and the sun was almost up.

We had walked for miles, run for yards and swum for the diving board.

Two gondolas had been enquipped with powerful engines and were seeing off the most massive of the motor yachts.

A whale played off the coast and we tried to see it’s occasional surfacing.

A day later we had succeeded in discovering a formula that cures everything we could think of.

But, we were generous and left some things to be cured by others.

…To your good health!

The recording studio was lit with sound and full of people.

Somehow, the band were getting every song right the first time, it was remarkable, and a joy to behold.

These are the times when everything fits. The skills you didn’t know you had rise like geysers – the knowledge you didn’t know you had is within you  – and ideas become symphonies.

Of course we are not all musicians…yet!

But we are all storytellers.

Music is the story with subtle descriptions.
