The Life of the Story

I open this day, like a book. The moments, a page, an asking, a taking….of time. It’s mine, to do with it what I should, what I could, what I can. But the pictures allure me. The stillness in the moment, the color, the awe, the wonder….they captivate me.  Where I want to stop, dwell, embrace, […]
