Such is the way of life of a wise person – retiring to their inner self, in their own company. I’ve started 2019 on a questioning note, which now that I think about it, makes total sense – it’s a natural response to observing. Not all that pleasant, not all I wanted. Yet good. And […]
Discovery. It was the word of 2018. I don’t think I would have chosen it so, had I written this post at the close of last year. But that’s what I ended up discovering. I discovered a lot of things this year – about people, my people, places (past and yet to come), about life […]
