Jump...

Dear Speed,

Rushing around, rushing in, rushing onwards. I'm putting you on hold. I putting you in the slow lane with two gears and introducing you to the brakes. I've ran with you for years, born sensible in so many ways and yet in certain matters, there you are taking over and pushing thought into the bin and gaffer taping the lid. Heart, have you met head? No? Pull up a chair, it's time.

You see, I don't have to make up my mind today or tomorrow or even the next day for that matter. Let's have a cocktail, sit on the grass and look at the sky. Let's have a conversation or seven. Let's pull up chairs and chew the fat and decide it's about a personality rather then a set of circumstances. Let's play the game. No store credit, I don't want to buy now and pay later. I want to save up, a bank of memories.

Hunger, is a good sauce...

Yours sincerely,

  5. Especially good to slow down in summer.

    Verandahs, cool drinks, lazy evenings.

    Cow wishes them all for Letters.
