A full fortnight of the young year has swept by.
Changing the patterns, adding something new to daily life, can slow the passage of the hours. It’s habit and disengagement that makes time move more swiftly. Remember being a child, and how summer used to stretch forever?

The tiny dry leaf that is clinging to the topmost tip of the nearest tree
The ability and liberty to walk
