differences house making-a-difference
It isn't just a village. The houses aren't just places to live. Everything belongs to everybody. Everyone belongs to everyone else. Even a single person can make a difference.
lying real broken
Some things can be both real and imaginary at the same time, . . . some lies can be true, . . . broken faith may be restored.

mother moving wind
That wind. I see it's blowing now. Furtive but commanding, it has dictated every move we've ever made. My mother felt it, and so do I - even here, even now - as it sweeps us like leaves into his backseat corner, dancing us to shreds against the stones. V'la l'bon vent, v'a l'joli vent. I though we'd silenced it for good. But the smallest thing can wake the wind@ a word, a sign, even a death. There's no such thing as a trivial thing. Everything costs; it all adds up until finally the balance shifts and we're gone again, back on the road, telling ourselves - well maybe next time

I am not at all a chocoholic. I would rather eat anchovy toast.
people fascinated
I am fascinated by how people eat and what it reveals about them.
mother jobs fun
From a very young age my mother persuaded me that I could write for fun, but I had to have a proper job - very good advice.
children thinking parent
