In between the swan and the bare back of a photographer there is a story of a slowly decoded friendship.

It’s just the way it is. Some movies tell their story so subtly it is hard to detect. Others shout it from the rooftops leaving nothing to discover.

It is good to know what you are listening to and then to be fed the discovery of texture like folds of cloth and ambiance like a slow change in temperature.

Ambivalence has its place…but where? By its nature it is hard to know!

Best way to practice perfection?

Do some small things, minute by minute, moment to moment, perfectly.

Underline a comment with a really straight line, dry that glass completely and entirely, state the case clearly even if it is “Good Morning”.

That’s a practice which becomes a hobby, begetting pleasure and satisfaction.

You’ll try hard at the “big” things anyway!

In the end, perfect, is a folly of an idea. But it’s a good direction.

The saga of the three ideas.

One idea was to keep things the way they were.

Another idea was to think of some new way.

The third idea came from outside The Committee of each region.

Two regions, each made a different decision.

The Ancient Region decided to keep things the way they were.

The Modern region decided to think of some new way.

A traveler from the future knew without a doubt, that a new idea existed that would deliver bountiful, beautiful benefits to everyone.

In the future all the regions would thank the traveler, even while they read the history books.

Disputed delights and dancing drinks.

Deep inside the labyrinth the minotaur welcomed guests.

Two visitors wanted to leave early, two others wanted to stay an extra day.

They never met, but neither did the concierge meet the chef.

Sometimes luck decides the course of play.

Sometimes play decides on luck.

So strong yet so weak.

Not really

Strong and in tune with the surroundings

Relaxing in a hammock will often provide more answers than shuffling through pages of reports.

Open wings, open mind.
