Crunchy. Cautious. Bold.

Good heading for the article about food, a film, a set of winter tyres, or the one about a woman who accepts the challenge and becomes a super hero (that, not a Superhero).

The evening news as opposed to the inspiring fireside tales we tell.

Facts or said to be facts, are delivered from strange sources or good ones, we don’t always find it easy to tell the difference.

Intelligence allows one to question and take apart the reasons or lack of them, for this series of statements and thin explanations.

When the logs glow and we stare at the flicker of feeling, we can make questions good and answers better.

Soothing versus vexing.

And then there were three.

All bears are not the same.

I feel it.

Tonight we are grizzlingly in tune.
