A quote from the great Kahlil Gibran

Images and pictures with captions, photographs with words,
some philosophical, some amusing, some silly.

Aphorisms, proverbs, adages, call them what you will, when combined with an interesting image, they are often worthy of a moment's thought.
At times, that may be all you have.

Telling short stories about Christmas.

Knowing this can lead to a happier life.

My own feelings after seeing a presentation by explorer Bruce Parry.

Out on the moor - who is it, that hunts who?

No one can share your footstep, it is only yours that occupies that space in that time.

Quercus Rubus lies dead and unmourned.

Chinese proverb - Bedford Town Bridge

In truth, it was the farmer moving cows to new pasture but the sheep just didn't want to be left behind. Quite amusing as they hurried to catch up..

Keep your eyes open, for when you arrive it may be dark. Enjoy the journey while you may..

Good stories can be enjoyed by all. see ya later . . . in a while . . .

Out to the Irish Sea.

"I'm telling you straight this is no bull, this book". And he should know.A bit of quiet reading after hours, in the Champ Public House in Appledore.

" and so the brave toy tiger saved the day and all his friends bought him cakes .... what a good story .. .

Thank goodness he's gone out, now I can have the book. He can't read anyway.

Blossom the Bear just loves the book.

I say you should stop monkeying around and get a copy of this book before all the first editions are gone.

I told you I'd rather stay at home reading Richard's book. Now look what you have done.

Take a short walk with me, let me tell you a story.

A brilliant but little known author attempts a desperate and spurious link between
Kingsley, Westward Ho! and Devon author Richard Small.

Ely Cathedral and Gibran.

To Blighty Bound.

On my return, from Budapest,
my train stopped in Vienna.
If I now told you all the rest,
I’d have to charge a tenner.

House on the cliffs, Westward Ho!

The wise man leads you not to enter the house of
his own wisdom but
leads you to the threshold of your own learning.
Kahlil Gibran

Always something else to blame eh?

Keeping the way.

We all, that walk this path, shall find
Sharp thorns, that seek to tear and bind.
When darkness falls, the way seems long,
But trouble not, our minds are strong.
With hearts of oak and faith that’s blind
We’ll find at last, this path is kind.

When I was a child, I was told that if you find the end of a rainbow you will find a pot of gold. It was quite some years before I realised that the rainbow moves as you approach. You can only be at the end of someone else's rainbow, never your own.

How annoying . . . but an interesting lesson -
even if it does take a life time to sink in.

Sometimes, regardless of skill,
we just need a bit of luck to come our way.
Sometimes we wait a long time.

Just for fun,

You might know the story of Pavlov's dog, how different are we when the mobile ring tone calls? How we panic to find the phone, to press the key, to see the message.
At least some of the time Pavlov's dog received a biscuit, ours is probably spam!

Some people enjoy a tall tale of far away lands.
For amusement only . . . it's not true, or at least I don't think it is.

There is a lot in this book for young and old alike.
Your soul knows no age.

A few of the essential tools of the dedicated writer, also invaluable for proof reading - your own work in particular.

No judgement made, just understanding.

Here today, gone tomorrow.

The mind makes its own path, with or without a guide.

August in Devon 2015, a hot day.

Eeee aw eee aw eee aw ! I haven't laughed so much in years. The caravan story in his book is just hilarious.. . . and so is the one about goats . . . daft old things.

Be sure of your copy. . . contact the author direct.

Otherwise you'd never walk in a British summer !

John Donne (1572-1631). A wise man indeed.

I hadn't realised until recently that the fact that we never see the other side of the Moon does not mean it has a permanent dark side, nor that the Moon itself is not rotating. We live and learn eh?
