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.

*PoseyO**PoseyO* Ridvan

"Inhale the fragrances of the Ridvan from His roses and be not of those who are deprived. Appreciate the bounty of God upon you and be not veiled therefrom - and, verily, We have sent Him forth in the temple of man. Thus praise ye the Lord, the Originator of whatsoever He willeth through His wise and inviolable Command!" - Bahá'u'lláh, The Tablet of the Branch

Coffee. Will make clam chowder and add pork today. They mix clams and pork in Alentejo, Portugal. I wish I were there. Lovely day in Évora today. Nice here as well. A photo I took of porco à alentejana 2017 in Évora.

Looking forward to writing my poem-a-day for Katya. She wields a wicked whip. *Laugh* I'll probably skip the Daily Flash Fiction prompt because it doesn't inspire me.

One image from the windows facing the river: black-clad kayakers in rainbow colored kayaks.

I can use that for my poem! Prompt is "a body of water". I immediately think of puddles, ditches and lakes because of where I grew up but I have a river outside to gaze at. Flowing water will have to do for now.

30DBC: sounds ...

"I live alone in silence in a quiet building in the center of town.

Mostly I just hear traffic. There is no birdsong and there is no wind today.

Occasionally I hear Jacob stomping in the hallway. Earlier meals-on-wheels came to Billie Joe's door. They finished putting in a new floor in the shower, so I heard that as well.

I'm half-deaf so I hear my own ears, my fingers typing, but the drip from the faucet? I know it's there but I can't hear it now. Sometimes it's loud.

5 minutes, 5 hours, 5 days or weeks. The sounds are a background I can nod at and ignore. Unless there's a soft knock at my door ... and then it's probably Lavinia.
