Leaning over the railings alongside the bridge, the balcony and the concert hall.

How far do you dare lean, how far should you and is it wise?

We dare not summarize this crucial aspect of life in just a few words.

So instead we put on music and just suggest – Let It Roll.

The cold breeze felt good.

Cheating a bit, because we knew there was a warm fireplace back at home and home was only ten minutes from anywhere we’d reach on this walk.

We met a squirrel which followed us even though we did not climb a tree.

The bears were forbearing and left us to our own devices. They thought we were unlikely to rifle through trash cans left out for collection – those were theirs!

The driveways were so long we couldn’t see many of the houses. When we could, we were surprised by how tiny they were.

The sun witheld its full charms and just flickered softly.

And we were so right, the roaring fire dwelling at the heart of the marble fireplace replaced any chill feelings.

Then, we chilled, as they say.

The magic bus, fields and collections.

We all look for that trip, a journey that starts with a ticket and ends with a wondrous lifelong memory.

We do.

A field begs for a white and blue tablecloth upon which to spread the tastiest of picnics.

We all collect something, Some things.

Perhaps saying “we all do” is true.

Some things exist for some and not yet for others.

And then, soon, good will come to all if we can arrange it.

If things are not what you expected.

Start…or rather paint a new Start line in front of what’s there.

Try to forget the original.

“But I wanted the pink dress”.

The blue one is shockingly good.

Pink might come later.

Think blue for now.

No need to spend time on this!

Flowers in the mist.

Outside the window the mist is too thick to see the edge of the balcony.

But the flowers, violet, yellow and too many colors to mention, shine and look happy, fine and philosophical.

Aah! How to look philosophical, that is the question.

Whether it is nibbling to have blossoms and thin stalks or tough reedy trunks, or both, that’s the multi-part question.

The answer is more varied and divided and multi-toned.

We think/Therefore we may be right or wrong.

We don’t care, The process is so delightful.
