Show Me What You Mean, I Can'T I'M An Over Explainer

I'm in my hammock Wearing fluffy pyjamas and slippers With the dog Just pondering how I could show rather than tell. Could you imagine it via my words? The siren in the distance grabs my attention, pulling me out of my breeze laden daydreams. There is coolness in the air that soothes my soul and my brow whilst I am insulated against the world, warm and cradled against the backdrop of a day without sun. I am rocked gently, held by invisible arms that do not judge my presence. The breeze continues to sweep across my face reminding me that concerns can be put aside. I am warm and safe but someone somewhere has just started building garden furniture... You know, I was almost onto something for a second.

There is seldom tranquility to be found when we seek it. That’s why I enjoy being an early riser. I think without distractions when the world around me still slumbers.

Agreed, Dilly. It’s as if the world is ours as we watch dawn give light to our thoughts… and just for a while all is right in life.

There's a magic to thoughts that occur before all the other necessary cogs start turn x

Just for a second you had me at sirens, alarm bells went off a bit, but you kept your balance and drifted away, til the chainsaw maniac spoiled the moment, show don’t tell, my interpretation, without judgement, cheers David
