• The seasons come and go, and the scenery around us changes.
    As the days flow by and are gone, simply standing still every now and then can be enough to find new and stimulating encounters.

    Take a break and see what insights you might discover.
    Take a deep sip of tea.

    #14 Keep Calm and Carry On

    The desire to surround oneself with things that make you feel good is perfectly natural. It is made all the more evident by how unnatural the reverse would be.

    But life is not always that simple. Sometimes, you have to close your eyes and give yourself over to the music you love.

    “Resting against the window pane, feeling the sun illuminate my back…”

    I remember a song that starts like that.

    I recall an album cover featuring the singer sitting quietly, lit by sunlight shining through a window to his right… I think it was Lou Courtney.
