Got back a week ago. Big event for our little fam. Nearly 1,900 miles. Six Days. Longest drive we’ve done as a family; two days in the car each way, 6-7 hours. I was impressed by how well the kids did with the monotony of long road travel. New sites and destination. So much to …

Temperance

Full Flight
Timestamp: 1:41am. Mind unleashed, from the darkness to full flight in a moment. Like a bat of hell, as they say. Intent on a good night’s rest, then from slumber to thoughts racing in an instant.

The Last Bits
The last bits on the plate, the tastiest remnants of a fine meal, Song coming to an end, passed the solo, final chords, let them resonate, sounds so sweet, Snippets of that last dream, as the images and feelings slip into the ether, Night gives way to the dawn of a new day, light pours …
