I don’t think the Universe is necessarily two people having a little chitchat. The Universe, tragically, cannot chitchat. It can sing, it can vibrate, it can thrum, but it needs clay jars—like panpipes or wind chimes—to make a sound. The...
Hi everyone! I’m joining in with #WeekendCoffeeShare once again. It’s nearly 11PM, so I’m hoping I can finish this post before midnight. I don’t think I even want water anymore before going to bed, but if you’d like a cup of something to...
