I'll be going for another night walk tonight, it's a clear crisp night, to sit by the river in a special spot - the neighbourhood in which I grew up - passing the houses on my old street recalling with a smile the names and faces of the friends I spent those many days with, playing and swimming, skateboarding, throwing stones etc. I feel the same warmth of acceptance return when I'm there, those feelings having left me in my early adolescence, alienated inside myself.

No, I've given up trying to fit in to the ordinary world, it's like flogging a dead horse with me, and so I'm coping quite well now, and the journey isn't over yet.

Peace and love to everyone on our respective journies with our respective struggles through this life. 🙏🙏🙏💖
