I am playing catch-up with Photo-A-Day. I have missed: Chair, Garden, and today's prompt, Lunch. Chair is an easy one for me because I have a Space Chair. I call it that after Eckart Tolle's idea of "space consciousness" which, if I understand it, means the act of becoming aware of what you are doing … Continue reading Space Chair
