Slow Dance © David L. Weatherford

Have you ever watched kids on a merry-go-round, or listened to rain slapping the ground?

Ever followed a butterfly's erratic flight,
or gazed at the sun fading into the night?

You better slow down, don't dance so fast, time is short, the music won't last. 

Happy Thanksgiving!

Nothing is more honorable than a grateful heart. 
~ Seneca

out of it

lulled by luxury

dulled by desire

cushioned and cushy

styled in safety

life pales as sense recedes

past, present, future

form fractured fiction

of false fabrication

as fragmented facts

forge phony futures

lives fritter away

power leaks out of being

shameless shallow selfishness

suck away substance and soul

in damned doomed denial

sharing London, part 2

In the last London post, #wonderwanderwomen guests were frequent visitors to London who knew the city, wanted to see specific exhibits, and had their favourite haunts. But sometimes we get friends dropping by who want to be surprised.
