It goes on." ~Robert Frost He was speaking to journalist Ray Josephs In 1954 on his 80th birthday. Frost's words in context: "In all the confusions of today, with all our troubles . . . with politicians and people slinging the word fear around, all of us become discouraged . . . tempted to say this is the end, the finish. But life — it goes on. It always has. It always will. Don’t forget that.”  Caption: "Frost, who once wrote, ‘I never heard of a house that throve . . . where the chimney started above the stove,’ examined the stove of his old kitchen at Little Iddens, Gloucestershire."

Here is a quote from one of his many thought-provoking books: “Neither love nor terror makes one blind: indifference makes one blind.” from If Beale Street Could Talk, 1974 ********** 8/1/24 Words and phrases that piqued my interest: “Her presence commanded attention despite her ethereal and eccentric appearance.” "Another page of God's coloring book is displayed before me today." "Her locality has become more restrictive and her mother’s values and life-choices when she was the same age are a constant dirge in her ear." “Eyes burning with ancient wisdom.” ********** Moved 7/30/24: Sleep’s Drama Sleep pulls me into the story and gives me a script, commanding me to go there, to say this and then that, expecting that I be unsurprised when the guy checking my groceries becomes a sheep and begins to eat the head of lettuce I so carefully chose from the produce department. I’m transported from one setting to another, both familiar and unknown. Scene by scene, I follow, without question, the nebulous plot hatched in Sleep’s labyrinth- like, playwright mind. The theatrics are all so logically illogical. The play goes on and on as I portray all the characters. I am the entire cast, you see - Aunt Dora, the cat, a grouchy baby, some crazy dude wearing a cowboy hat, that sheep. At last, Sleep itself tires and pushes me aside, taking a deep bow for its executorship. As the curtains close, I yawn and stretch, moving groggily into another bizarre dimension: Reality. by Solace.bring ********** Quote of the day: "I learned that courage was not the absence of fear, but the triumph over it. The brave man is not he who does not feel afraid, but he who conquers that fear." ~Nelson Mandela Nelson Mandel [#2323215] Using photo for WWWUsing photo for WWW ********** Posting Disussion threads in case you missed them: Current discussion thread below "Quote All Over My Room " June 24,2024 ********** "Be the change you want to see in the world" ~Ghandi ********** Poem posted on WWW through 6/23/24 by WdC member Innerlight: The Rain has Spoken A somber melody in the air, The weight of absence, a silent burden I bear. Light rain taps gently on the windowpane, Each drop a tear, a memory’s refrain. I lie down to sleep, seeking solace in dreams, Where their laughter echoes, and love redeems. Yet how can I forget the contours of their face, The warmth of shared moments, time cannot erase. I yearn to laugh, to defy sorrow’s grip, To dance on the edge, where joy and grief slip. And when tears fall, unbidden and free, I embrace the ache, for it binds them to me. In the quiet hours, I sit and mourn, Lighting candles, tracing memories worn. Their stories etched deep, woven into my soul, A labyrinth of emotions, where healing takes its toll. Remembering becomes my sacred task, Their essence alive in every breath I ask. I choose to smile, a gentle rebellion, For they live on in me, defying oblivion. With gratitude, I give thanks for their grace, The love we shared, the moments we embrace. And as I step outside, the rain kisses my skin, I go for a walk, their presence within. by Innerlight ********** Creative words/phrases by WdC writers: "As I romped through the quality slice of life." "Good to stimulate a sluggish." ********** Quotes compiled from

To earn the appreciation of honest critics & endure the betrayal of false friends. To appreciate beauty. To find the best in others.
