Ace of Hearts But No Free RideJanuary 19, 2021 at 10:53 PM
I spoke to my brother today
a few words that said so much
solemnly
how does one live with suffering
pain
a terminal illness
one that challenges
every cell and thought
without end-
is it
faith
courage
or
because living has its grip
and wondering why is
exhausting
and doesn't give you a free ride.
----
Your prayers are deeply appreciated
for peace of mind, heart, and body.

Then later, when looking back at the time stamps, there was 7 minutes between the first and last photos — a tally of 7 shots in total. And as a nice, extra bit of synchronism, it turns out that the eatery in question has been in operation for 70 years.Tags: Travel, Photography, Food And Drink, Tokyo 7 people like this.
