TIME'S LOOM

Time is the loom

and we are the cloth,

we are weaved into life,

become flames to the moth.

DAD JOKES

1

I told my mate that he'd regret building his new house on that flood plain.

He didn't listen to me but I think it's finally sinking in now.



2

A bloke down the pub was a dedicated Flat-Earther.

Eventually I was able to talk him round.

JUST ONE MORE THING...

The sun is making people squint. They look like Columbo right before he says "Just one more thing..." From this the lines on our faces are formed alongside our laughter lines and worry lines. The face makes no distinction between them. Dunno whether to laugh, cry or sunbathe.

EVANESCENCE

The Past is Time mixed with the Present

Memory is that which is yet to dissolve.

LIKE A BIRD ON A WIRE

Saturday looks around at the low clouds and finds little to smile about. The wind is suffering from ennui. It can barely tickle the leaves on the trees. A tiny bird perches on the wire of a telegraph pole, a single note awaiting accompaniment. As are we all as we start our day.

ENOUGH IN THE GARDEN FOR ALL

This mighty fir's protective canopy enables the tiniest of flowers to shelter and thrive around its base. It welcomes one and welcomes all. It knows its ecosystem relies on integrating Nature's gifts. There is enough in the garden for all.

A lesson some of us may have forgotten.

BETWEEN BOTH NOISE AND LIGHT

We live between both noise and light

It's where our hopes and dreams take flight 

We seem to linger in this place 

While chasing life at such a pace.

A CUPPA DONNE WELL

 First cup of tea: 

"Therefore, send not to know

For whom the kettle boils,

It boils for thee."

SATISFACTUAL

White clouds backlit by a rising sun. A curtain raised on another performance. There is a stillness before first light, but then birds sing, and you feel that it's just for you. It's looking like it might be a Zip-A-Dee-Doo-Dah kind of day. 

Everything is, indeed, statisfactual.
