   L'aura del campo 'é a lua, é a lua, na quintana dos mortos' ♣ Federico García Lorca ♣  L'aura del campo. A breeze in the meadow. So it began the last day of Spring, 2005; on the 16th day of the month of Light of the year 162. This is a supplement to my daily journal written to a friend, my muse; notes I do not share. Here I will share what the breeze has whispered to me. PLEASE LEAVE COMMENTS!

| Whatever my blog has been it hasn't been "just right". In this Land of Twitter and 15 seconds of fame attention span it has been too long and too complicated. In this Land of Serious Writers it hasn't been serious enough, introspective enough, essay-like enough. All-of-which would be funny if it weren't frustrating. Is blogging too easy for me? Am I bored and not extending myself? Is it too hard and I'm just relying on what comes easy for me? I started this blog in 2005 and eventually settled into a scrapbook style. A little this, a little that. But everyone fled to facebook and twitter and Blogville became Ghostville. Reincarnations haven't quite worked for me as blogging went out of fashion along with having conversations and building community. We all have to move on someday. But not today. I can write a piece of prose or poem in 20 minutes on a good day. 4 or 5 in an hour or two on an exceptional day. Bad days with nothing-to-show don't stress me out much. I average one-a-day. I can always stick to what comes easy or try to expand my comfort zone. Short-vampire-stories/chapters that are character driven are fairly easy for me; editing and compiling them is not. Travel writing hasn't worked too well but photography has. Haiku, senryu and haiga... well, we'll see. Flash-fiction pushes my comfort zone so I'm doing that for May. My journal is now on page 5.020 and I've skipped a few days there as well, but I keep at it. I could apply the "this-is-just-right" to my travels as well. But that will have to wait for another blog. A flash fiction written today:
