Smugness -
Much like confidence,
‘Smug’ is trusting your talent.
How it differs is
Whether you think skill is earned
Or believe it’s inherent.

Welcome! Thanks for reading my work!
I write all sorts of things, and I try to challenge myself regularly,
But I mostly enjoy jaunty humour and offbeat adventures in my writing.

The Silence That Follows
“Silence is not the absence of something but the presence of everything . . . It is the presence of time, undisturbed. It can be felt within the chest. Silence nurtures our nature, our human nature, and lets us know who we are. Left with a more receptive mind and a more attuned ear, we become better listeners not only to nature but to each other. Silence can be carried like embers from a fire. Silence can be found, and silence can find you. Silence can be lost and also recovered. But silence cannot be imagined, although most people think so. To experience the soul-swelling wonder of silence, you must hear it.”― Gordon Hempton
