My brain swirls whilst calculating perceived levels of threat. I try to not react to information. Recently I’ve chosen to mute/unfollow angry, violent, judgemental, […]

It also made me reflect at finding my father, dead, eyes still open – sat on the bottom few stairs. I’ve always and, probably […]

Sweet fragrant Laughter, safe in small spaces; Slipping from focus, waiting to strike. Satin swishing, shiny and sparkling; Supple butter leather as flexible […]
