#89 – Questions for the Universe, 3

If someone pops into your mind and then a few days later they email you out of the blue… Is the universe speaking, or are you – like all confused people – calling a coincidence an omen?

#88 – Happy Place

#88 - happy place - conversations

Over-priced perhaps but this  is very quickly becoming my Happy Place where I pause briefly before heading into the bedlam of work…

#87 – Redemption

#87-aslan-edmund

What’s done is done. There is no need to speak with Edmond about his past.

From The Chronicles of Narnia – The Lion, The Witch and The Wardrobe – which I just watched again 🙂

#86 – Of Hearts..


Listening a lot to this song, drawn in by all the hope it breathes…

#85 – Easter Sunday 

  
From the Hillsong social media campaign to get people thinking about the wider import of Easter, allied to the clocks moving forward an hour overnight…

#84 – Airports..

#84 - airport - waiting

Surely I am not alone in thinking that sometimes waiting in an airport with far too much time on one’s hand can often be the most stark reminder of aloneness…

#83 – Untitled


Harrow bound…. The view whilst I wait

#82- Killing Time…

  
Waiting for O to appear, twenty minutes after I arrive even though she had a seven minute heads up… I guess I’ll chalk that up as a learning experience…

#81 – Winning

#80- Magpie Tales

For Mag 309:

In the set of her shoulders
and the glint in her eye-
is the quiet reassurance
of certitude; and of knowing.

That as certain as after day comes night,
And with the wind comes chill,
She wins…

In the end.

#80 – Suprised, Not

My attempt to surprise M , ruined by my reflection in the lift mirror.. Sigh…
