Though I’ve Grown Old, The Bell Still

The Idea Of The Extraordinary Happening In The Context Of The Ordinary Is What's Fascinating To Me

Some People May Contend That There Is No Image More Charming That A Child Holding A Puppy Or Kitten. But For Me That's A Distant Second. When I See A Child Clutching A Book...

They Give It Life Themselves By Understanding It.
