A Changed World

A virus-shaken world, death not buried now away from thought … Prosperity undermined; no quick way back … Where is hope? Many spared … Unmasked: the transcience … [Is there] a better world? A vibrant future.

Interesting cameo of bright

Posted on Fri, 16 Jan 2015

Interesting cameo of bright memories, a bit like Jolono's recent 'Under a London Sky' memories of the beginning of a courtship. I liked ''Occasion marked: Us and 'Coat-hanger tourists' too. The Brolga Dance certainly sounded...
