Day Forty Two, March 5, 2011
“You can’t depend on your eyes when your imagination is out of focus.” —Mark Twain Today was a day of looking at balances, re-arranging thoughts, deep contemplations, and searching for rhythms. There is a rhythm in the rain that can lull you to sleep if it falls gently, there is also rhythm in the…
