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 "English Authors--Answers to questions"

Hardy and Moore to me as well were boring school assignments like you. I've read every Dickens book as well. I agree with you about favorite author of the 19th century. He died in 1870.

In response to "It Beats Me!"

The universe does change and people need to change as well or they'll find themselves playing catch up in my opinion.

I think you explained it much better than I did. Nice job, Joy.

In response to "It Beats Me!"

I chose some hard quotes this week but I found this interesting. I like your views. I may do my own take on this. A good entry with nice philosophy views.

In response to "Pride in Achievements"

I was proud/happy that I kept up daily exercise in Thailand and that I learned how to swim. However, back to boring routines in Montana. I'm proud that I remenbered to water a plant today and that I entered contests here before the last minute. The pride is in setting a goal, remembering it and then actually doing it. Small victories.

In response to "On a Quote"

Simplicity to me reminds us of each moment allowing us to be humble and hopefully ethical as well. I wish I could humble assures authenticity but it doesn't because I've known people that on the surface seem very humble but have been discovered to be otherwise.

Some good thoughts about stars. I like the history reference as well. A nice entry that leaves me star gazing.

In response to "Flashbacks and Sudden Memories"

Sometimes, I feel like when I write that I am bleeding.

I on more than one occasion have thought Quasi was snuggling against me when I was asleep but when I open my eyes he's not there. He's been gone for ten years but I know he's with me still. All my cats are with me, I feel them.

I'm glad Nochi is feeling better.

In the sweltering *arena
of my everyday life and
on this *July day with heat

into the pool
almost boiling hot
