I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done.
I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them.
I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC.
In a small community there are consequences to anger and acting crazy but people still need to depend on each other. Every village has an idiot (sometimes beloved).
But in larger (or segregated) places where folks don't know nor depend on each other it's easier to get away with violence or hatred.
We had three bad thunderstorms here in the last month. Very unusual for Missoula. It's like tornadoes off the Great Lakes... happens but seldom. I remember a black sky from my childhood with huge raindrops. Yep. A small tornado. Happened once a decade. One hit the Buffalo riverfront last month near where I once lived.
How wonderful! I like all animals, too. funny about the elephant mimicking the drummer. My cat is into my books and my cellphone, also. How lovely that you get to see wildlife where you are. Your account of chipmunks and the deer is so precious.
Write about the mythical or science fiction creatures/beings that could actually exist. Imagine a world where there was definitive proof of their existence - how would life be different?
Life will be different as time goes on. Presently reading "Fringe-ology." by Steve Volk. Some of the interesting things have nothing to do with mythical thinking. David Eagleman- about possibilianiam
What is Neurotheology? Some science is beginning to wonder how spirituality knew about Neurology before it was a science. I read this somewhere last year, "Miracles are something you never experienced before." Will you believe one if you do experience one.
It has been awhile Since I read Michel Faber's "The book of strange new things". When I was finished I thought a lot about the reality it presented and how it may in some form come to pass. The beings described were so real and well thought out. Like living a dream.
There are some people in The United Kingdom who have made a film about the existence of fairies. They say they have film proof?
When I studied Geobiology, we discussed the possibilities of dragons existing or at least of creatures that are enough like dragons to have created the myth. The Komodo Dragon is a large lizard but, could have started such a myth. There is a large island that is set up to keep them alive as a species..
Myths are based on things people experienced and the experience itself. Stories handed down by families, from parent to child.
People hunting Big Foot believe they have pictures of this being. I fear for their experience if they ever actually catch up with one. Or, is it an unusually large ugly bear?
