Winter morning. Botanical Gardens, Melbourne, Australia.
My mirrorless ‘happy snapper’ has a fault and needs repair. Thankfully still in warranty. But before everything it’s coffee time.
An automobile of staggering beauty.

Words Are Windows (or They’re Walls) by Ruth Bebermeyer.
I feel so sentenced by your words, I feel so judged and sent away, Before I go I’ve got to know, Is that what you mean to say? Before I rise to my defense, Before I speak in hurt or fear, Before I build that wall of words, Tell me, did I really hear? Words are windows, or they’re walls,
They sentence us, or set us free. When I speak and when I hear, Let the love light shine through me. There are things I need to say, Things that mean so much to me, If my words don’t make me clear, Will you help me to be free? If I seemed to put you down, If you felt I didn’t care, Try to listen through my words, To the feelings that we share.
