 |   A terminal for all blogs coming in or going out. A view into my life. |
Started July 1st 2019 for contests, etc. as other blogs are filling up and have other purposes.  I'm starting a new blog because
I'll be linking to
I've started an appendix (I no longer have one personally) to keep track of my Space Cadet journals for Space Blog. It's a work constantly under construction. Mind the mess.
I needed to start a folder for contests as there are so many deadlines and details to remember.

Response to "Invalid Item"  by McKinzie S. Heart  :At least this is poetic.  I love the rhythm but would like to hear it read outloud by the author. I stumble over a couple extra syllables and can't quite get the cadence right. I'd give it a 4 out of 5 but there's nothing I can suggest to make it better. It tells rather than shows. Might make a nice meme for someone who feels the same way. Note that this was posted in 2004, long before these troubled times.For
we found a specimen that said "Something's just not right. "What do you suppose isn't right? Many of us shake our heads at situations that befuddle us. We lament how others don't 'see the light'. My question... do we show them the way? Many will answer, "this is the way" but fail to understand that telling isn't showing how. One event comes to mind. Americans were outraged over recent brutality after mostly ignoring it for decades. People shook their heads in disbelief. I didn't. I had spent years working on building bridges across chasms in my community. I knew that they existed. No surprise. No surprise at the anger, the backlash, the vandalism... But no need to share what I know. Only this: if you don't understand someone who doesn't look/act/think like you then it's time for you to befriend them. Hopefully the growth of understanding will be mutual. For Realities: 52. What emotion do you wish you didn’t feel? Anger. It blinds me. Yes, I'm earth and fire. Yes, I'm a lava rock... coming right at ya!  Add wind? I become the ash that buries you. Add water and I steam you like a vegetable. So, yeah, anger is an emotion I wish I could control and harness. Afterall, a steam engine can haul a lot of *whatever*. 56. Do you find it difficult to control your temper? Yep. I blow like Vesuvius. Not pretty. Scary to me. Plus, it gets me upset and has gotten me into trouble. Although... I should've 'lost it' more as a teenager and less now. People don't expect it of me... 57. What helps you heal? Time? Lots of time? Not really. I think confronting the situation because I'm so avoidant (like removing a splinter). Hugs help with the emotions. I don't get enough hugs. 58. What are the little things that make you happy? Anything! I still love the autumnal change of colors. I should be outside enjoying it but it's a bit cool and breezy. I learned as a child to take great joy in small things. 59. If you could choose to have any emotion right now what would it be? I wouldn't right now. I am enjoying a certain 'calm' and that's not often enough. Maybe I'll get something done. When I'm high or low it's like the engine is running but car is not in gear. I'll take this moment of 'cruising'. 60. Do you ever feel numb? What causes this? Why did I go numb that one year? Shock? A feeling that my world was collapsing and I had no control? I gardened and I had supportive friends. 'Not feeling' was worse than anything before or since. For: "Welcome To My Reality Forum" |
