"September 20, 2018"     Prompt: "Use this line in your entry today--- "As the song goes..."Those three words are said too much, they're not enough." " Have fun."Three words that I think are often overused are "I love you." I know that isn't very original because it is the go to answer. However I look at it from a Christian perspective. Jesus taught us that we are to love one another as He loved us. He went on to say in another passage that no man has love greater than the love it takes to lay down one's life for friends. Jesus did not mean that we should jump at the chance to be killed for our friends but rather that our love for the world around us should be so strong that we are willing to go to any length to help one another. Just think what a difference that could make in the world! "Prompt: "Aflame in color, poets have written, borrowing the language of fire to describe trees in their full glory-fiery-red sweetgums, sugar maples igniting, birches alight in yellow flames. Okay, writers what are your views on this?"I think it's sad that trees have to lose their leaves in the winter time for there is nothing quite as ugly as a tree with no leaves. However I will say that fall is a colorful time of the year. I have oft written about the beauty of the colors myself. Many of the Than-Bauk and haiku poems I have written have been about nature and quite a few of those have been about fall. My nephew use to refer to autumn as the "season of falling leaves" or "time of falling leaves." I'm sure that if one were to research it there would have been a Native American term quite similar to "time of falling leaves." Fall was once a time of year that I liked for one reason though. It was harvest time and fall meant plenty of good eats and it also meant hunting. I know that many people are against hunting but for my family it was a necessity. We fed thirteen people per meal so deer was a staple for us. I enjoyed my time in the woods trying to find food. It was peaceful. It was also a lot of responsibility as people were depending on me. Failure was not an option. Thank goodness the Department of Natural Resources tended to look the other way when I failed to look for antlers and shot more than one doe!    |
