What was I doing? I was doing exactly what Cass was, and my fingers folded on his as he pulled the lever to recline the seat and BOOM I was lying on him and his hands were all over my back, then swirling my hair aside so he could put his open mouth on my neck. I took my hands out of his hair (warm at the roots, frost cold at the tips) and reached down. Which resulted in Cass pulling me right into his lap. Certainly, so was me flipping up the arm rest and moving closer. I stared at him, stunned, consciousness slowly returning, which he must have seen in my face because he pulled back. His eyes were bright sea blue, pupils wide and black. ![]() ![]() ![]() ![]() There’s nothing quite like spending time together under the twinkly stars – complete with a delicious hot chocolate and her dog Norman sprawled on their feet.īut she can’t help feeling that there’s still something missing.

He began to write verse while studying as the companion of the son of the local lord, and continued to write when he moved to Edo (now Tokyo) in 1667. Matsuo Basho, the Japanese poet and diarist, was born in Iga-ueno near Kyoto in 1644. ![]() These travel writings not only chronicle Basho’s perilous journeys through Japan, but also capture his vision of eternity in the transient world around him.

When he composed The Narrow Road to the Deep North he was a serious student of Zen Buddhism setting off on a series of travels designed to strip away the trappings of the material world and bring spiritual enlightenment. In his perfectly crafted haiku poems, Basho described the natural world with great simplicity and delicacy of feeling. ![]() 6/6/2023 0 Comments The watchman chris ryan![]() ![]() "I never sold out to PIRA," said Meehan, "It was Box who betrayed me."

"I'm going to need help," he said. This man, Joseph Meehan, originally provided excellent information but then went missing. We placed one of our men inside the PIRA 10 years ago.
