I looked between the lines in the book trying to see the meaning behind the words. When I was in school, I was taught there was always a deeper meaning beneath the lines. The construction of the sentences and their order held a greater importance than simply what I read. That is one of the […]
Our lives intertwine with friends and family. We choose the friends, sometimes by geographical vicinity, sometimes by group participation, and sometimes by career. Sometimes having friends is by trial and error. Relationships can offer an uplifting experience or sometimes make a toxic mix within our lives. Thus the trial and error. Family relationships add the […]
I pulled into the gates of the festival grounds and before I pulled even a few feet beyond the entrance, I could hear the musical notes flowing on the wind from the distance of the trees.
