20 Feb: Ten Things of Thankful
1) A quiet Sunday morning to reflect on our 45-years of adventure, 2) for all the obstacles, and lessons, and knowing that eventually one finds a way even if the path there is unexpected, 3) for the touch of a hand or a thought when everything is okay, and equally when it’s not, 4) for…

The I in I Want I want to look at crows on a limband not think Hitchcock. I want to remember the tasteof soft sticky sweets wrappedin dull waxed paper. I want a poetic mould, a soulof mellowed rhyme,of wit and shine. I want to remember wordsand names and famous songsthat sit on the tip…
