You are gifted with a different sort of blog this week. My muse insisted this be the message. I look forward to hearing from you. Stop in and chat with me Tuesday at Vintage & Modern Books from 12:30 – 2:30.
Grammar
Shall we take a short deviation from grammar? NO. There are some folks who think grammar is unnecessary and stifling. I’ll tell you (IMHO) that it is as important as ever.
Beginning
Sharing your ideas will evolve out of your introspection. Simply having an idea or opinion is not enough to expound to others. What is the point?

OBSERVATIONS #18 – 12.24.24
I Must Do To Be I must do to be, Things move, change waits, Words interrupt, hands interpret, Bodies heal, thoughts roam. Before you, after me, Sands drift to form dunes and valleys, Swirling shapes shift with times motion, And like water, are not silent. Obedient children must speak, They play guard over brown uneven…

Pretenders pose at stagecraft,Weaponized words, spiked and sharp, Meant to exhaust Liberty, Female…
