Some years, men are not strong.
“What weighs more, a ton of steel or a ton of feathers?”
It’s what they ask you
when you’re a child.
(They hope to trip you up and make you wrong).
Then in your life,
your man life,
you try to find a home (that is a place to rest and be).
The soft and hard
they always weigh the same,
You be too much
of one and then the other (always wrong).
But one day,
in a really lucky life
you’ll find a place,
(and when I say
a place,
make no mistake,
of course
that place
it is a person)
This place you’ll find,
a place
where things aren’t weighed —
and you,
you’re right enough
(with her you’re home,
you’re always home,
and home is where you’ll always want to be)
That’s a beautiful piece of writing Harry. Thanks for sending it. Sue liked it too!

Thanks Walter.
I’m sure Sue appreciates it because it reminds her of what you two have. Which will always be better than words anyway.
A home you deserve.
Well, I wouldn’t go so far as to say that.
More incredible luck than good management. But I’ll take such blessings as are given me.
Truly truly lovely 🙂
Thanks Emm Dee. Nice to hear from you. Life’s good huh…
That is so lovely.
What is the picture though? Is it spilt milk mixed with a little beer in the shape of a half man half guitar or is it some kind of psychological quiz that I just failed?
Kerrie
Haha, it’s a psychological quiz if you decided to make it one.
It’s actually just butter melting in a pan. It looked cool so I snapped a photo before I threw the mushrooms in.
Although your recipe sounds like more fun.
You softie you. This is so sweet.
Softie? Me?
That’s just a very small part of me.
Woops. That came out wrong too…
Home… funny how for all the things we spend our time doing, that’s all we really want. A place just to be, not to be weighed. Lovely.
I think, too, that having found our home, it allows us to be the best we can be.
Our work improves, as well as our life.
You know it too Alarna, and I’m glad.
Hey harripants.
Decided to come on over, WOW, goodstuff here.
And to think you have a heart too, love it.
Hi Carolynn, thanks for visiting, I’d have cleaned up the place if I knew you were coming.
Just don’t let it get out, the whole having a heart thing, okay?
I have a (bad) reputation to uphold.
