The mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation. What is called resignation is confirmed desperation ... A stereotyped but unconscious despair is concealed even under what are called the games and amusements of mankind. ~ Henry David Thoreau

peace peace

alone never never alone

cross humble streams streams humble cross

algorithmic machinations give pause pause give machinations algorithmic
atop glittering confetti trails moonlit moonlit trails confetti glittering atop
paths iced streets glistening rain kiss dreams dreams kiss rain glistening streets iced paths
eyes held hands love thick substantive air words words air substantive thick love hands held eyes

peace peace

curmudgeon filled donuts
