Look at it this way

A picture may be worth a thousand words, but oh the stories those words tell!

I usually add a few words explaining those pictures when I post them on Facebook and then the likes and loves tell me a story back!

People see things from their own perspective, so whatever that is to them, they assume it must be the same for me.

Sometimes it is and sometimes it isn't.

Contrary to the popular belief that everyone in the world is dying to pair off and live forever after isolated in their own little roles described and defined two thousand years ago in God's little black book, I am looking for a broader, less constrained way of living.

I like people who are sweet and open. I like them honest without a sense of entitlement. I like them genuinely interested in the world and ready to enjoy what life offers.

But I can tell by the reactions of some people, that they see my pictures as proof (and possibly the hope) that I am falling into a traditional rut so they can heave a huge sigh of relief and -- relax.

Sometimes we stand in the valley and look up. Sometimes we stand on a mountain top and look out. Either way it is up to us to see what we can see.
