Right now I'm sprawled out on the sofa on my parent's patio, wrapped up in a light blanket, listening to the late-summer rain fall around me, Noah and the Whale playing in the background. I just want to be alone here in this moment. I don't want to go anywhere, and I don't want to see anyone, and I don't want to do anything. I just want to be alone and quiet.
But I'm returning to the bustle of London in 5 days, and I've got far too many goodbyes (and hellos) to say before then, and so much to do to get ready. Oh, London. You seem so far away from me right now. And I'm afraid to return to you. I don't want to start living again, just yet. And London forces me to live, or even more, to fight to live. And that reality, as I lay here listening to raindrops fall on the green leaves of the backyard garden, is a bit overwhelming. I'm not sure I'm ready to fight again. Yet.

Good Day Trent,
I am trying to contact you to see if I can use one of your photos. I am a graphic designer working on an alumni magazine for a University and there is a story on Cambodia. I would like to use your photo that has a palm tree reflection. I don;t know how all this blogging stuff works but I signed up so I could contact you so hopefully you wil contact me. PRETTY PLEASE!--Many thanks, A
Sorry, I've been moving flats and don't have internet, except on my phone. You may indeed use my photo, please credit Trent Maynard. Best, Trent.
Wonderful! Thank you so much! Will credit you of course and send you a copy of the magazine if you like as a PDF but I haven't a clue how to do that through a blog or flickr mail.
IF you want it let me know, OR I just realized there will probably be a PDF version on The University of San Francisco School of Law website in about a month. Good luck to you in your travels and study.
Glad you're back in London, Trent.
