So in our tiny place in the universe
It remains our choice, our own little segment

Transitions continue….


I don’t know when it happened….or when I knew….
It was so subtle….I was just thinking about you one day….
And then couldn’t stop thinking about you all day….

Occupy your time wisely 
Enrich your mind instead...
