Leaves fall off the trees, raining down like rubies and diamonds beautiful in all their color.Time passes and the trees sit bare, stripped of their splendor and dormant til spring.Time plays its roll, a harbinger of life and death, bringing with it the ceasing of winds and the gentle brush of new breath.We fear it's … Continue reading Time & Trees

The Game of Life
In the 21st century we're in a constant race to stay ahead.
