CJ lost the plot a long time ago. Now, she writes to explore where all paths lead, collecting crumbs of perspective as her pen travels. One day, she may have enough for a cake, which will, no doubt, be fruity.

    This is another beautiful take on that breathtaking image. Question, Ms Jane! lol. That sounds like you're a teacher. But quick question - is that someone related to you in the image or just a stranger who happened to be in the shot?

    Sky looking at ripples, thinking "Holy fuck, I'm drunk." I know, I know. What is wrong with me?

    So Lefty, Cj - You just store them up and then bless us with a lot of them...but, as you do to me, it's so fun to tease you. j-bud.in.l.a.
