From Vincent at A wayfarer’s Notes:
I was walking along the Ledborough Road this morning, past the little shops and into town. You see every kind of person, it seems, from anywhere on earth. Something struck me about one man, the way he glanced at me as I passed. It seemed to say “My soul soars, but here I am stuck with this body.” He had a well-worn face, and his glasses were slightly askew. I judge him to be four-foot nine (145cm), about fifty years old; and a man who wants to walk tall and not be seen as short. He wasn’t strutting defiantly like some of the others I often see, the ones who are shorter still.
I’ve been preoccupied with writing a post to say why I’ve not been writing one. An excuse note. “Please excuse Vincent, he’s been working hard on the site, but you can’t see the results yet.”
