I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.
I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.
I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.
Some years back Dune by Frant Herbert struck me as an allegory of some Catholic church doctrines. I was not impressed with that story either. Game of Thrones reminded me of Dune. Both books had their own story. Also seemed to have something else going on inside the story.
Tell me about the Bible being used as a weapon? I read it as a look into passed historical reality.
Muslims, Jews, Christians, women's rights, ageing populations, health issues, insurance prices, and others, all must be the targets.
I love the craft fairs but not shopping in the bigger stores. When I was laid up after my back surgery I watched a few Christmas in July movies on Hallmark.
Clothing is definitely more expensive these days, sales matter.
My maternal grandmother lived close to family in the hollow.
My father's family tended to live close, even moving together to Oklahoma and South Carolina.
My mother's family scattered.
I wish... but we both know about wishes without wings.
My experience in Thailand was mixed, but I don't doubt that families remain close as friends often do. In Costa Rica it can be multi-generations living in the same area.
"Speak soft my name" Tell us your thoughts about it. You don't need to write a review of this poem, read it, tell us what you think.

Quote from:reference : "This is Real and You Are Completely Unprepared" by Alan Lew : "You are walking through the world half asleep. It isn't just that you don't know who you are and that you don't know how or why you got here."
The first stanza calls up images of deep water and a sand covered bottom with sea grasses and depths of sand formed from years of grains laying around. As the stanza's move on I see gases, then molten lava, erupting high into the air, flowing down an incline. Then, as the lava creeps slowly toward the sea some of it's edges cool turning black. The molten centers burn their way to the sea displacing air and water, and foliage. When the hot lava hits the sea, Tsunamis waves are formed raging high into the air and the ultra ripples of waves wash outward searching for space to land and release the energy that was formed.
Yep I see volcanic action. My memory shows me a picture of a news story as Lava pours into the sea from an island.
