Writing Sparkle4 Comments

There is nothing secret about the scent of the coffee shop and I inhale deeply as I breach the doorway. It is rich and delicious and the smell makes my taste buds perk up in anticipation. My taste buds aren’t the only thing alive with anticipation though. My mind is wild to hear about this… Continue reading Secret life fit into a week – If we were having coffee

The coffee mug on the table before me is a simple pattern of horizontal coloured lines. I study the lines as they vary in width and colour noting that perhaps the pattern isn’t as simple as I thought.
