Keep going.

It’s too hot, you are tired, you are going back for something for the second time.

It’ll be a triumph (and a big relief) when it’s all done.

Like walking through a forest, up and down hills to reach a lake of great beauty.

Once in a while fight and effort, persistent push, are the magic solution!

Tap and tickle.

Dance and touch.

You always make a difference to the world around you. Whatever you do, has and effect. Even doing nothing!

It’s interesting how unlikely it is to be able to predict what someone really is, and who they really are…what they are all about, when you first meet them.

You can get an impression. A first impression, or rather a “gut feeling” that may be correct. But does the clerk go hang-gliding, the cleaner climb mountains, the engineer play harpsichord?

So many gems to discover.

What a delight!
