Ever set out to do something, start walking down the road with every single landmark you’ll pass by in mind, and as you walk you find your own feet turning down paths you can’t see, finding unexpected new sights, and leading you on a merry tour of a world you didn’t know could exist, then at last reaching the exact same destination you had in mind in the first place?

The Sky Is Big There – and so are the crows
I took a week and a half off and went to visit relatives in West Australia last month. My first thought when I got out of the airport was ‘The sky’s so big here’.

Widen Your View – and simply close your eyes
Listen. Continue reading
These Open Doors – and no its not the butterflies that i mean

That Golden Butterfly – and its just a stray thought
Something caught my eye in the middle of work the other day. A simple geometric pattern of a golden butterfly printed on a piece of white, single-lined notes. I recalled a saying about golden butterflies made of time sand, then.
