...romantic interludes.

I'm leaving for Scotland in a few hours. With two back-packs. Filled to the brim. With clothes. With material possessions. And my intent is to return with a far lighter load. To leave behind my material abundance. I have far too many clothes. Too many shirts. Too many sweaters. Too many jackets. Too many shoes. Too many of so many things. When love will suffice. That's really the crux of what I need. That, and good health. That's the source of happiness. Makes one a romantic idealist. A free-thinker. A liberal. And a lover. Makes it possible for me to fill my life with romantic interludes. --Jim Broede
