The meaning of taking life slowly
Take it slow. You're not bad All your stress is because you want it too much. All your pain is because you are too serious.

Never let your inner voice come out to play, He'll wreak havoc and spoil your day. Never invite your inner voice to visit Aunt Jane,

There is a little fire . Top Story - May 2025.
A child scrapes his hands through the sand He pulls up a great fistful of shimmering silica And inside that little clenched galaxy he holds a shifting conglomerate of empties
