I made it through the crowd, Bleary-eyed and proud. It took me moments to regain my composure, For only moments earlier I was caught in the jostle of human opinions and emotions, Trying to find my way free of the oppressive shoulders that were pushing me away, And the hands that whipped out from all […]
Weekly Photo Challenge – Companionable
This week’s theme: Companionable One of the most memorable senses of companionship I have ever had the pleasure of having in my life to date was with the very special people I met when I did my pilgrimage across the north of Spain back in 1999, it also happened to be the 1000 year anniversary […]
