So here we are:
Now I know
a lot of people around
the new year have spent
time making resolutions
to finding solutions to
those things that weren’t
quite so right last year.
A new year -

Last week I’m at the store walking
around an aisle when all of a sudden,
a line from a movie pops in my head;

meaning in the big scheme of Life.… —-> Continue…
It occurred to me the other day that at times
