Silly thoughts I will share/ STIWS

Today I found myself writing that life is a pinball machine.

Having been at this game for awhile, it seems true to me.

We try to reach a goal and work hard to try and make it happen.

Life has the flappers, holes, diversions & noise, to get in the way.

Any reaction?

Some great & interesting mail art arrived recently,
