Playing the black keys, so much easier.

Letting things soak, easier to wash later.

Exercise, if a habit, so much easier.

Invention, when surrounded by inventors, so much easier.

Ready for the hard things.

Where are we going…

Who are we cheering…

Which fruit is in season…

Some music made me dance…

A novel novel amused me…

Mythical security and the square fried egg.

Someone sold a bridge today, to someone, somewhere.

It’s easy to shop.

No trouble to buy.

Value is scarcer.

Discerning decisions and the wisdom of available land.

By noon.

The hotel sat near the top of the mountain.

We were glad it sat and didn’t get up and walk away – it was the only good place to stay.

Camels chewed something – or seemed to – wherever they wandered below.

They asked us not to take photographs of the camels. You might know why.

We were excited enough to be there, just to be able to talk with them and ask questions.

And what’s more, they all smiled so freely and easily.

Fly in, walk out slowly.

A smile so big, so multi-dimensional, it was dangerous – people took chase.

We looked. We discovered a small rabbit, a goat and an umbrella.

It was not raining, there was no cheese and we offered lettuce.

Food. It always comes into the story.

It’s how people meet and adopt each other as friends.

Coffee, tea or kefir work fine too.

Ke-what?

Yes that’s what we thought. Then we enjoyed it.
