The Replies Book

I bought a pad of paper yesterday.

Today it is Vintage

So I am told.

If nothing is worth anything today perhaps tomorrow it will be.

I am excited to balance the choice ahead. I bought a bar of chocolate, will it melt first in the 90 degree hit, or will it first become vintage and increase in value!?!

Want a bIte?

Sit down.

Sip slowly.

Deep breath.

Unzip.

Smile.

Be natural.

Just relax.

You’ll do fine.

Ready at all times.

We become ready, quickly and instantly whenever things change and require a new strategy. Or, it is best that we do.

So we will watch a different drama, write different notes and paint a different picture.

Perhaps a wholemeal, flax seed loaded and nutritious scone with fruit and melted lemon sorbet.

Walking backwards towards answers and looking through the branches of trees to see how much contrast the bright light beyond provides.

That’s the way.

Offloading and the romance of sipping a drink.

She was torn between picking up the ignition keys to her car and washing the cup she had just used.

We validated, and drove away.

The road, winding, curving, swooping, sweeping views and bristling cypress trees along both edges, took us to the villa.

The Villa of No Concern.

A lovely brick and marble creation I designed seven years ago.

It looked like a 200 year old building, in a good way.

A good way? Yes, quality and solidity of materials.

Unlike the “garden-shed” construction, trembly, and not at all soundproof multi-million dollar homes in California. Heaped as they are one, ear-splitting few feet from each other.

So good that good things are still created. A legacy and treasure for future generations.
