I gained some resolve recently. I’m not sure how, but it feels good. At the moment it hit I was between appointments, rushing between pleasures, a little lost and late. I saw this toy sword on the cramped landscaping of some business or another (a car lot, I think). The blade in the sun and …
I didn’t get a picture to capture this morning’s divination moment, but it will stay in my head. A puzzle piece is always appropriate. I’ve been finding a lot of them lately, as well as playing cards. So this post won’t go pictureless. On the way out this morning, I heard a loud burp, really …
