WARNING: Don't go there!

People are planets that do sometimes collide... We explore those planets when we go inside another person's thought and feeling discover what the silver atmosphere's concealing; different laws of nature may apply to different creatures under different sky... A world may be hostile to our hearts, our... Sign in to see full entry.

THE BALLAD OF THE MAID OF FOROCHEL parts 1-3

Thundering out of the distant plains heart and hoof together singing anger and tears a tempest raging knells of destruction, footfalls ringing! The broken spirit, the broken heart flees the madness of threat and mock --spirit defies, grows bolder ever-- --heart grows cold and hard as rock... She... Sign in to see full entry.

A new prompt! The Elevator

... the first in a long time! I have been thinking about people I have known for years, and some recently met; I have been thinking about relationships in their mad variety, diversified by gender, age, philosphy, life experience, sensibilities, species... about people I have gotten to know who, had...

Prompt: the theme is CHANGE

How do you face change? How do you deal with it? It is one certainty in our lives, our world, but we can't, don't or won't always see it coming, or presage the form it will take. Recently the topic of cultural change has come up in Naut's Mumbai posts, and I have focussed on it as a primary point of... Sign in to see full entry.

Here is a prompt of a different kind

I wish to prompt you to go take a look, if you haven't before now, at the blogs of RASSE: http://www.blogit.com/Blogs/People/Profile.aspx/RASSE She writes from the straightforward perspective of the life she is choosing to lead, shares with us what that life is like, what she cares about and thinks...

prompt: Last Meal

If I were to be executed on a particular morrow, my last meal would be huge! It would be all the foods I like best, and it would be way, way too much! I would start with really excellent sushi, lots of different kinds... Then, roast lamb... duck... especially the crispy skin! baby back ribs, crab... Sign in to see full entry.

Maid of Rohan A whisper runs over the tall grass a sigh on the ocean of green that echoes the longing I feel over all of the leagues between your noble heart and my own though your fine grey eyes have not seen.

prompt: Permanence

As a child I expected a certain permanence in certain features of the world. Some part of me still does. I have not divined why I get stuck on this issue--but I can remember being shocked, at age 8 or 9 by such things as the Congo changing its name to Zaire. I thought the names of countries were...
