Very nicely done. Almost a formal cinquain (I tweak formal ones; written a lot).
Speaker:
soft voice, cool head,
maneuvering, calculating, observing.
Wends his way to Paradise one vote at a time.
Johnson.
I don't agree with US House Speaker Johnson of Louisiana on most issues; but,
he stepped up to do a difficult job and his calm cool demeanor may help him move forward.
I vehemently oppose his world view, but 2024 looms. I remind myself to be patient.
As for Austen... different time, different culture, different use of language. I'm more fond of the dark Bronte sisters: Charlotte, Emily, Anne.
I'm always amazed at how many people choose mountains and beaches. I'm attracted to open meadows or prairie streching to the horizon. When I go to Thailand it will be to the rice fields of Isan, not the beaches of Phuket or the mountains of Chiang Mai (both are beautiful).
But daily life? Maybe living in a cottage in the Cotswolds visiting my neighbors for a cuppa tea. But Lagos in Portugal, Lillehammer in Norway or Novi Pazar in Serbia might do just fine.
Nursing is very hard work and I admire anyone who can do it. My mother was a nurse and loved it when she was assigned to work with pedriatic patients in the hospital she worked at (they were too small a hospital to have a NICU).
Anyway, this is a beautiful and moving blog post. You clearly love the work you do and are quite good at it. Thank you for sharing.
I didn't see this five years ago so I am glad you shared it again. I haven't read that book by Lewis, sounds like it is one I should. Thanks, I will check it out.
