Barley grains mingle in soup of the day with sustenance of warmth to provide a kiss from the spoon of love. Two paths photo says much about separate ways, but eventually come together at horizon edge.

Thanks, Wade. I thought this would be more for the daydreaming women, but turns out men like it too. Great! My last suggestion does not apply to you, by the way. You already have that one covered.

There's beauty there, and at anytime the magic can happen - in a field of barley, or in a rooming house breakfast line. Loved this, Sharron!

Oh Sharron, what a wonderful story! I love that my picture had prompted these hundred words - thank you so much for using it, and for the link!

Might I beg a favour from you? Your beautiful post has inspired me right back, and I would absolutely love to use a snippet of it in a 100-word story of my own. Would that be okay with you?

I'd like to use this part:

"...she takes off her shoes and feels the warm kindness of the earth beneath her feet."
