Sit down.

Sip slowly.

Deep breath.

Unzip.

Smile.

Be natural.

Just relax.

You’ll do fine.

Ready at all times.

We become ready, quickly and instantly whenever things change and require a new strategy. Or, it is best that we do.

So we will watch a different drama, write different notes and paint a different picture.

Perhaps a wholemeal, flax seed loaded and nutritious scone with fruit and melted lemon sorbet.

Walking backwards towards answers and looking through the branches of trees to see how much contrast the bright light beyond provides.

That’s the way.

Offloading and the romance of sipping a drink.

She was torn between picking up the ignition keys to her car and washing the cup she had just used.

He was oblivious.

Two people walked past gazing at each other as if they could actually still see one another.

We are encouraged.

We validated, and drove away.

The road, winding, curving, swooping, sweeping views and bristling cypress trees along both edges, took us to the villa.

The Villa of No Concern.

A lovely brick and marble creation I designed seven years ago.

It looked like a 200 year old building, in a good way.

A good way? Yes, quality and solidity of materials.

Unlike the “garden-shed” construction, trembly, and not at all soundproof multi-million dollar homes in California. Heaped as they are one, ear-splitting few feet from each other.

So good that good things are still created. A legacy and treasure for future generations.

Help me trust you, company B.

I like the words, the ideas and the warm thrill of security.

But then, you hand me off to a browser, to click here and there and add all manner of information and it looks awfully risky and non-specific.

So I leave it all for later. A lot later. Perhaps never.

Because the warm thrill of security seems a distant mirage when you hold my feet to the fire of confused hellish uncertainty.

That’s too far to go. And I am a born adventurer!
