May 2020

I am a little overwhelmed today. The daily news. This world. The piles that are heaped around everywhere. It is all a bit harrowing. I mean, if a black man can’t go for a jog without being hunted down and killed like some wild animal? Then what? If a respected doctor can’t sit in the […]

The first week of May is now passed, and we can see the world beside us, behind us, and we can imagine it, in front of us. As always, it doesn’t disappoint in its way of keeping things interesting. It is all so very interesting. A great example is Spring. It should be springing along
