      many times when we write out an idea, it goes into a totally different direction, etc, than we imagined. It doesn’t mean it is less. It just shows that we are multi-faceted thinkers.

  Your rhyming skills are becoming masterful, Damian. I love the effortless flow in this. That change of season can be exemplified by many on youtube who are tired of life’s games. Great work here.

  We are so long overdue for one. I’m hunting light and warmth everywhere I can find it these days. I think we all are. I’ll gather dead fall if you get some matches. We can dance around the bonfire of hope, my friend
