Second blog -- answers to an ocean of prompts

"Failure is unimportant. It takes courage to make a fool of yourself."
CHARLIE CHAPLIN

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

David Whyte

This is my supplementary blog in which I will post entries written for prompts.

In response to "On Creative Reading"

Every book I've read I've created the scene, the characters, and often where the story will go before I've reached the author's actual words take me. So in my thinking creative reading distorts the authors work but the door would not have opened in my mind without the guidance of the author. So hence the balance.

In response to "Dreaming and Planning"

Ooh, very well articulated, Joy, and does give one pause for thought.

So, when someone poses the question 'what's your dream for the future?' where does that fall on the spectrum?

'I dream of a better world' - the reflection of our desires and subconscious thoughts, yes.

So, then, let's get to work trying to make that dream of yours become a reality, right? And that's where the planning steps in.

Great blog entry! Thanks for sharing!

In response to "On Silence Day"

I wish there was more silence, maybe people might actually think before speaking. But I know that'll never happen because ignorance and hatred are hot commodities because then they get their 15 minutes of fame. sad but so true that ou rmedia coverage prefers to sensationalize negativity versus focusing on positive things.

In response to "Titanic"

Titanic is so sad. It happened years ago but we always care. Like JFK. Some tragedies never leave our thoughts. Good entry.

In response to "Imperfections"

I drink out of a chipped mug too. I didn't chip it but Vic did banging it into another cup taking it out of the dishwasher. He wanted to replace it but I couldn't part with it because it came from my grandson. So I know exactly what you mean about never forgetting him or tossing the mug. Johnny wasn't perfect by a long shot. He gave his parents a run for their money but he showed me a whole different side of him. I saw his vulnerabilities and loved him no matter what.
Love doesn't have to be perfect...it's just there flaws and all.

In response to "Evelyn"

It it always a pleasure to read what you come up with the prompts. Nice job. Thought I could never imagine you being bitter or envious.

In response to ""Sometimes, It Snows in April""

I like the song. It makes me sad. I love Prince. Its April and I think of Prince and we had snow this week. I like your take on this.
