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

Hoarfrosts from Hell  (GC)
Anything I'm not happy about or that I don't want in my main blog!

BOOK
Enga mellom fjella  (13+)
Enga mellom fjella: where from across the meadow, poems sing from mountains and molehills.

Watt's Gnus  (18+)
On topics and today's gnus. Definitely opinionated. Set to 18+ for a reason.

come out of a need to share interesting stuff I come across. When I was young I did a small newsletter named as such. (or was it column in the newsletter? Been 30 years... I think.)

Short 300 word, more or less, "stories" .

is where I put my flash fictions. Maybe someday I'll figure it out and have enough good ones to publish. Ratings vary and some are hidden from view.

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.

Jindal spoke, "When I go back I will face what I have to face."

"What will happen?"

"What will be will be. Sorry to speak in tautologies but there are too many outcomes to contemplate. I will say what I need to say and let it be."

Jindal looked distant. As 90210 would later say, "as if he had stars in his eyes and galaxies behind them."

"We all have gifts and would suffer if we lost them. What would Kat be without her Dreams, Cook without knowing which herb kills and which one cures. What if Quip went mute?"

"It would kill me."

"Or at least give us some needed peace and quiet." [laughter] "What would make a shapeshifter suffer most?" [silence] "What if I were frozen into a form decided by others. I would be beautiful of course but unable to truly express my emotions. Worthless for traveling. Impossible to pass unnoticed. Dismissed ... perhaps."

"Would it kill you?"

"No. No more than taming a wild beast."

"Ouch."

"But just like I must face what I must face in spite of some trepidation, so my people will be tempted to avoid reality as they have for thousands of years."

"You'll be like Krishna."

[soft murmurs] "No, but will I be able to bring about change if my form is frozen? Regardless it is time to show them that without character beauty is merely a rose without fragrance."

On that note everyone began to eat. Kat merely smiled.

When Jindal left us a few days later, Kat took me aside and whispered, "There never was any physical danger. But 'change' ... that is more promising and dangerous than anything we will ever meet in Space. I will nap now in peace."

"Face what you must Face"

"Krishna says – When you avoid what you must face in life, it becomes bigger than you and takes control over you." What do you think?
