Welcome to Rainbow Snippets!!

I am recovering from a stressful week. I hope yours was better than mine. 🙂

More from “The Hippie Whisperer” below. Carl and Ben share lunch…and conversation.

“So I talked to Chester the Sunday after…you know,” I began.
“I figured that,” he said.
“We talked about a lot of things.”
“And,” he urged.
“While I don’t like your approach to some things, I want to thank you for what you said to my son. As for what you said to me, I have to say, it was hard to take.”
“I understand that.” He changed brushes. “Most true things are.” He added bright green paint to the wall.

Welcome to Rainbow Snippets!!

Hope your weekend is going well so far. 🙂

More from “The Hippie Whisperer” below. Carl takes a lunch break after his meeting and runs into…guess who! 🙂

Instead of going to the teacher’s lounge, I went off campus. The Reader’s Den was only a ten-minute walk away, and I admitted to being curious about Ben’s work. It was hot out, but I didn’t mind it, much. I wanted to talk to the one person in my life who I knew, even after so short an acquaintance, would always give me the unvarnished truth, no matter how painful.

Ben sat on an old wooden bench near the wall he was painting. He was halfway through a sandwich. The first thing I noticed, of course, was his hair, but he seemed almost…tame with his paint spattered T-shirt and frayed jeans. A knotted gray handkerchief graced his neck. It all suited him, somehow, the paint brushes, rollers, paint cans. He was in his element.

Welcome to Rainbow Snippets!!

Yes, I’m back. 😉 I didn’t want to leave Europe, but you know? Money runs out. We had a great time, and look forward to going back at some point in the future. I hope everyone has been well and enjoying the wonderful excerpts from some really great authors!

Here is a picture of Kitzingen, Germany – lovely, yes?

More from “The Hippie Whisperer” below. Carl is at work, talking to a prospective student and has a tiny epiphany. 🙂

I leaned back in my chair and looked at the man sitting in front of me.

He was my age and slightly overweight, with a bald spot and his remaining hair pulled back into a stringy ponytail. Henry Farthing wore a short-sleeved shirt with palm trees all over it, Dockers and sneakers.

But for the grace of God, there go I. Tell me this isn’t what I look like in public.

“Why the sudden interest in going back to school?”

“Well, my wife died, and while I loved being on the road, it’s not fun without her anymore. I thought it was time for a change. You’re never too old to try something new, I’ve found.”

Okay, universe, I hear you. Stop poking me.
