I’m enjoying this story. Fred and Mo established a connection, which the big man can’t deny. He selflessly pushes Fred away - but I wonder if Fred can stay away?
These two poems made me smile as I read them. I felt a sense of greater peace and purpose after my second time through. Thank you for these gems that remind me to seek simplicity and to consider others.
