“You can’t always get what you want…. but you just might find, you get what you need”~ Mick Jagger and Keith Richards. My mother invented text speak. Way before there were mobile phones she used innovation and efficiency to create her own set of shorthand terms, ways to get more words into a small space. […]
FMM 12 18 15 In Praise of Life
“Though lovers be lost love shall not, And death shall have no dominion.”~Dylan Thomas. Death is a funny thing. It sharpens the senses like a shower of rain clears the air. Memories once distant come close. As a drop of dew on a leaf brings the colors and veins into acute focus, it can […]
