What we like
- Night Rains has a mixture of styles some of which are typical of the day. Photographs seems to transcend the era and holds a special quality that speaks through time
Soul experience
- Beautiful words are gently given to us by Janis. She opens us to the world where passing time and the effects of this on our bodies is transcended by love. With a culture obsessed with looking youthful it is comforting to know that it is possible to see beyond the surface with the aid of love. Possibly we should start with ourselves
To reflect on
- Photographs of long ago
The colours fade, the wrinkles show
I loved you then, I love you still
I guess I always will
