Keep Digging

I'm focussing on creative projects through Summer, so an older entry revisited... enjoy the rest of July and August 🙂 "Dig inside yourself. Inside there is a spring of goodness ready to gush at any moment, if you keep digging." - Marcus Aurelius There are those whose words echo, far beyond their lifetime. I return …
