Belonging can be such a gut-wrenching hollow in the psyche if you don't feel you meet the apparent criteria to belong where you think you should belong. But literature, the characters and the scenes, can awaken a very different kind of belonging. Always worth a second thought... https://t.co/SvUbhsfRP7— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 20, 2020

in the neophyte hours...
Today, in the neophyte hours of the morning, fog encased the street.— Tim Mallon (@PatMalo85776814) June 20, 2020
It was a good fog.
Some fogs make things difficult.
Other fogs we call good.
They change things for the better.
In a good fog, familiar and unremarkable things can
become remarkable and
beautiful.
'A Blade of Grass' ...
Reading 'A Blade of Grass' by Lewis deSoto - set on the South African border in the 1970's when it was fraught with racial tensions. I have seen mixed reviews of the novel, but I still want to read it. pic.twitter.com/PLDMb77seu— Gemma Wiseman (@AuraGem) June 20, 2020
