Never Mind

Discomfort

Cats can be comfy in any position This comes from my sense of discomfort in my writing: I want to be funny Write of beauty But there is war I want to walk you down flower filled lanes Where we watch the butterflies and bees But children are suffering I want us to travel toContinueContinue reading “Discomfort”

The Bletchley Park Effect

Home of the Code Breakers The Code Breakers were the British Team that broke the Enigma Code during WWII, and helped to end the war and prevent a huge loss of life.

Those who distrust the process of life, people, and the existence of happiness will subconsciously seek proof that they’re right. It’s all about attitude, perception, beliefs, and choices.
