The Replies Book

The ledger was open on the fourth page.

So early in the game we could see how well things were going for the grand family.

Things were good.

We anticipated a grand banquet at the annual shindig and debate.

All we needed to do was politely remind people not to talk with their mouths full.

Or, not to fill their talk with food.

The price of paper, the power of dreams and low power consumption.

Isn’t the the ideal to summon up ideas, see the impossible become reality all without draining energy

The crescendo of enthusiasm, the effortlessness of the mind and the relaxed wave of the hand.

Deftly we – well, everything…

Swift reading of the telegraph means good news comes fast.

When a telegram arrived by a pill-box hatted messenger they waited for you to read it in case you wanted to send a reply.

There is a message in that.

Several pieces of paper.

There were notes about dreams, travel, shopping and how to assemble a radio.

The beginning of a novel seemed to be revealed on a small scrap of paper.

An old wrapper and a lined page.

Some numbers were written without any description or explanation.

So it seems a blank page really does present a world of possibilities.

Or a note of tenderness, love and admiration.

Or…a reminder.

Let’s transcend recessions, forget timing and drive slowly when needed.

Driving fast in an expert way on an empty high-horizon-visibility road is quite OK.

Some would want that to be in an electric car. Well, we’ll see, yes maybe.

Let’s cook the best home made pasta – yes food, again.

Fusion is the word and it’s not a car.

Boiling point is pasta’s best friend.

Parallels, metaphors and similes – useful.
