my life as a sketchbook

I have hidden in a sketchbook and a journal all my life. Time to open the books, reframe the story & time. Copyright Cinders McLeod. All rights reserved
3 friends on a train from London to Glasgow. 5 hours to kill. A game is suggested. Fold a piece of cigarette package. On one side,  write a thought, then hand it over to the other who writes a second thought (or, in my  case, a song title).  Then open up and see how the two random thoughts work together. We  laughed all the way to Glasgow. What’s the last thing Jesus said? It’s beginning to look a lot like Christmas

Home is a place we all must find, child. It’s not just a place where you eat or sleep. Home is knowing. Knowing your mind, knowing your heart, knowing your courage. If we know ourselves, we’re always home, anywhere.

but it wasn’t a dream, it was a place. and you and you and you … . it was a real truly live place and i remember some of it wasn’t very nice but most of it was truly beautiful - but just the same all i kept saying to everybody was “i want to go home,” and they sent me home!
