I was leaning on the handrail of the rear deck this afternoon, drinking a glass of filtered water and thinking 'Is this what the last day of the world feels like?'. Nature felt very calm. The butterflies were still fluttering about, birds were doing normal bird stuff. The sky was blue with patchy white clouds.... Continue Reading →
