This is my favorite stretch of the road to drive on. The coolness of leaves arching over is invigorating. I take a few seconds every day to explore nooks and corners – the familiarity makes me feel at home. The pattern shifts a little, as I’m overwhelmed by the dark woodiness of branches in intimidating … Continue reading Encounters
suffocated breaths on busy roads laden with history -manipulative voices steeped in the art of politics Honesty is an exception here….
