Very nicely done. Almost a formal cinquain (I tweak formal ones; written a lot).
Speaker:
soft voice, cool head,
maneuvering, calculating, observing.
Wends his way to Paradise one vote at a time.
Johnson.
I don't agree with US House Speaker Johnson of Louisiana on most issues; but,
he stepped up to do a difficult job and his calm cool demeanor may help him move forward.
I vehemently oppose his world view, but 2024 looms. I remind myself to be patient.
As for Austen... different time, different culture, different use of language. I'm more fond of the dark Bronte sisters: Charlotte, Emily, Anne.
I'm always amazed at how many people choose mountains and beaches. I'm attracted to open meadows or prairie streching to the horizon. When I go to Thailand it will be to the rice fields of Isan, not the beaches of Phuket or the mountains of Chiang Mai (both are beautiful).
But daily life? Maybe living in a cottage in the Cotswolds visiting my neighbors for a cuppa tea. But Lagos in Portugal, Lillehammer in Norway or Novi Pazar in Serbia might do just fine.
Nursing is very hard work and I admire anyone who can do it. My mother was a nurse and loved it when she was assigned to work with pedriatic patients in the hospital she worked at (they were too small a hospital to have a NICU).
Anyway, this is a beautiful and moving blog post. You clearly love the work you do and are quite good at it. Thank you for sharing.
I didn't see this five years ago so I am glad you shared it again. I haven't read that book by Lewis, sounds like it is one I should. Thanks, I will check it out.
Is it really 2020? Where did the time go? And where are the Jetsons and their flying cars, robots and everything? 2020. Doesn't that seem like such a space age-y year? Good grief we haven't even made it to Mars except in the movies. However if Alexa or Siri came with Majel Barrett's voice (the voice of the Star Trek computer) I would freak out.
All of this to Happy 2020. May the New Year be a blessed one for all of us.
