    Six Word Story (38)

    They are small, they are fierce. Why do we underestimate them so? Why do we deny they are reflections of what still lives deep inside of every adult heart?

    A Six Word Story (31)

    I love to watch the shadows grow. Some times the time goes fast and sometimes is crawls, but it’s always a blessing to watch.
