Should the world happen to shut down,
I would hold my breath and let it out.
Long and slow only to hear it
Enter the atmosphere
Nuanced.
“Come breathe with me”, I would say
Expand your ribs and fill the space.

The Scot
I couldn't tell if my stomach was sinking at what I was about to do or flipping in anticipation to see him. Twenty years since our first kiss in Mallorca, fifteen since our London rendezvous and it dawned on me... here I was chasing him again. I just needed to know. I needed to know what he meant when he text, "Promise that one day you'll just walk in and say hi". And here I am thirteen years later, very much attached, and so is he. He shouldn't have dared me like that. And I shouldn't have kept his messages.

Guard Your Battery
Why are some people so attractive just by standing there? It’s not because they are "likable," but because they don’t need everyone to like them. I realized later that truly charismatic people allow themselves to be criticized, but they never criticize themselves. They never try to please the world; instead, the world stops to watch them.

Review of 'Man on the Run'
My wife and I saw Man on the Run, a nearly 2-hour documentary on Amazon Prime, about Wings, Paul McCartney's group that flew around the world from shortly after The Beatles broke up in early 1970 to shortly after John Lennon was murdered at the end of 1980, making a Beatles reunion forever impossible.
