and sometimes it looks a bit like this.....
"taking a line for a walk" looking at life...it's not black and white... it's tension in the negative spaces.

The Story Of Roger And Rozie....
This is where 'Tension' really started for me, it gave me a place to play with imaginary and real situations, finding the humour and the truth.
It gave me some space to have a bit of a think along the way, it became a bit of an outlet for some of my frustration and helped me to move on from a difficult and sad situation.
"HUMOUR IS THE ONLY TEST OF GRAVITY,
AND GRAVITY OF HUMOUR.
FOR A SUSPECT THAT WILL NOT BEAR RAILLERY,
IS SUSPICIOUS,
AND A JEST THAT WILL NOT BEAR SERIOUS EXAMINATION,
IS FALSE WIT." Aristotle.
In life there's always room for a bit of imagination,
and this dear readers is where I had the opportunity to use mine...
Life is full of surprises, and we can never be sure of what's around the corner...

Life is full of surprises, and we can never be sure of what's around the corner...
in the mean time (before the really big adventure arrives,
that hasn't quite got there, but you kind of know is on it's way).
One has to get on with the job of being ones' self.
And that dear reader is in some ways the biggest adventure of all.
Well that's the end of the story...
Rosie was grateful , as the story says. She was grateful for lots of things like, friends and family and photos and food. Among other things. She'd found that being a bit braver and trying new things was a bit scary at times, bet it helped her to move on and get to, and through, the new challenges in her life.
She sometimes thought about Roger, mostly about his advice, and his quirky ways.
She had learned a lot, particularly about Patristics (which she previously couldn't even spell), and also manuscripts and at odd times she had a bit of a dabble in the classics.
Roger, as time went on, was a bit more fun, in a quiet sort of way.
He remained tentative about revelations surrounding his identity, that would never change.He commissioned many translations and put them in the public domain.
He was always busy, and that's the way he liked it.
However his decision to be kinder to himself meant that he organised and went on a fabulous holiday every year....or at least to the beach for ice cream, and a lie down in the sunshine just gazing up at the sky.
Roger and Rosie both had plenty to go on with,
which is just what they did.
