SOLC31: The Big Implausible

I did it. I actually managed to complete this thing. To finish a challenge that I originally thought to be impossible. Well, not exactly impossible, more like implausible. But I suppose that "doing the implausible" is what humanity strives toward in all that they do. And girl plays with dog and dog plays with ball but ball plays with nobody. Because that is our endless humanity. Our one singular breath that soon joins the millions that have gathered in the skies. The earth and the heavens together as one. And what is the goal? We don't know do we. I did this because I had to, but also because I wanted to. I wanted to complete that which is a so-called implausible. And so I have done it. So I say goodbye, and fare thee well.

SOLC30: Wrapping Up

Today is not the final day of the March Slice of Life Challenge, tomorrow is. Yet, I still feel the inclination to wrap a few things up. So here is me wrapping up before tomorrow's final goodbyes. Just a few comments, thoughts, observations, questions, and lessons learned.

 I think we found out. I hope Dr. Seuss's birthday was great. Perhaps I will find the bird again some day. poemcrazy really did teach me a lot. It just so happens that Kitty was off in the gardens tending to the radishes that where much in need of being tended to. Tanzi deserves to be taken out more. Why did I put the poor dog in a box? I need to read so much more. Eating fruits is a good thing to do. That baby guppy has grown so much. I should finish A Northern Light. I should fix Titan's ladder someday soon. Magnetic poetry can be good. I should blow bubbles again. I forgot about all of those little stories. I should spend more time outside. Poetry can be as creative as you let it. Fantasy books are exciting. I've gotten pretty good at using my characters. I miss children's books. Why did I ever stop drawing? I loved winning that tournament. Rhyming is difficult. The Cardinal came before the cardinal. I still have many more books to finish. I am no longer going to have the chance to post a dedicated Thursday Scribble. I love our new home. I should really go outside more. Death is scary. It's not over yet. Who knows what tomorrow will bring.

SOLC29: Heaven

Do you believe in heaven? The afterlife? The underworld? Reincarnation? Or do you think we just lie there sitting and waiting in eternal nothingness? And what do I believe in? Well, I can’t say that I’m sure. There are so many thoughts from all kinds of people who state their beliefs. And we can’t just go in and ask a dead person, they have plenty of things to deal with as it is. Even if we could ask them and hear their answer people would argue. Some will say yes, some will say no, some will scream, and some will sit and write a criticizing article. People will spend all of their time worrying about what happens when they die instead of returning to their lives. I guess that’s why I don’t ask about heaven. I don’t want to. I just don’t. I want to keep on rolling with my own life. Who needs all that confusion and chaos anyways? I’m perfectly happy without those thoughts.

SOLC28: The Color Green

The Color Green
The safe
The secure
The beautiful
The meaningful
The way grass grows
The way flowers bud in the morning
The way that the veins in leaves are drawn out
The way birds call for each other high in the treetops
The way the sunlight above the clouds touches down on the hills below
And the way that breezes of spring reach through all emptiness inside of you and find the good that is hidden therein

SOLC27: New Home

There is that same light feeling in the air. It is warm outside even though the leaves left the street and the city as a whole a while ago. It has been a month since I was last here, I had been sleeping on the floor with the dogs for so long that they had seemed to accept me as one of their own. This new place is quiet and hollow. Like a book with blank pages, but I know it won’t be for long. We will turn this building into our home. Just like the last one and the room in my grandmother’s house that we have been sleeping in for the last few months. We only have to start writing.

SOLC26: Thursday Scribble

Because this is the last Thursday Scribble for the March challenge, I have decided to include three of my latest scribbles. Enjoy!

 

Clouds 

Cotton summer clouds

Forming shapes in creamy blue oceans

Marbled tones of periwinkle

Lead to

Endless hours of time

Spent searching the heavens

For clubs and hearts 

Hide and Seek
Hide
and Seek
for Hours
and Hours
and Hours
and Hours
if Only
Time
Forgave

Persipitation
Splishity-Splash
In Careful Rain
Dreaming
Of the Summer Sun
As Glistening Bubbles
Tap the Surface
Of Crystal Puddles

SOLC25: Finished Books

This past week and this coming week I am finishing a few of the books that I have not yet finished. The books that I have finished this past week are The Te of Piglet and Egg & Spoon. The following is a brief summary and an explanation of my final thoughts about these two books.

The Te of Piglet is a sequel to The Tao of Pooh. It teaches some elements of Taoism using characters and stories from Winnie-the-Pooh. This book had a creative premise and was also educational. I loved the way that the author took the original characters from the stories and developed them into something more. The book was enjoyable to read because it was entertaining and humorous as well as an interesting non-fiction book.

Egg & Spoon is another book that I have recently finished. It tells the story of two Russian girls leading very different lives who are brought together after the disappearance of the firebird. This book was written by the author of Wicked and had a very unique style to it. It was creatively narrated and was told in both third and first person. Although the story was technically a children’s book it was still incredibly enjoyable for me.
