Little spheres of light

Become Witness

~Musing~ Can you remember the sound of silence?Proper silence, without any man-made noise. No music or tv playing. No humming refrigerators or air conditioners. No cars, city buses, nor semi-trucks.

A far-off stream gently … Continue reading Become Witness

It had been a long time since he had been cornered by Steve. Not to imply Paul didn’t like Steve. They were best friends after all. It was more that Paul resented … Continue reading Come Hang Out
