intent on becoming an interesting person

ReplyDeleteMundanity can indeed be magnificent!
ReplyDeleteWhat is mundane to one is life to another. We often don't appreciate what is right in front of us.
ReplyDeleteI agree. nothing wrong with mundanity. The more connected we are, seems the more separate and sad we become.
ReplyDeleteGreat little 'grass is always greener' poem, Rall 👏
ReplyDeleteA delight to read Rall!

Mundanity can be a good thing, that we skip over while looking for something different and exciting.
