The Lord replied, my precious, precious child, I love you and I would never leave you. During your times of trial and suffering, when you see only one set of footprints, it was then that I carried you. "There is no life higher than the grasstops Or the hearts of sheep, and the wind Pours by like destiny, bending Everything in one direction." Sylvia Plath, Crossing the Water, Wuthering Heights. Nominate a poem for the InterBoard Poetry Competition by taking into careful consideration those poems you feel would best represent Mosaic Musings. For details, click into the IBPC nomination forum. Did that poem just captivate you? Nominate it for the Faery award today! If perfection of form allured your muse, propose the Crown Jewels award. For more information, click here!

Scattershot absurdity. I was more interested in the characterization of an apocalyptic semi-hysteric
than in a rendering of fact. He's a little excited. Change Will Remain Through some form of alchemy, though I suppose, strictly speaking, there is only one form of alchemy, otherwise everything would be changing out of control. But, yes, as I was about to say, alchemy may have done it, caused it, brought it about, a change in the apple, its archetype, foundation of our love affairs, the stolen kiss. We’re standing at the threshold of a change in water too. Believe me, no dam is safe, soon to come, inundation beyond an imagination as strong as that of Oedipus. Meditation will bring you a transformation in metal, steel to lignite, Not a pretty future at all, at all. Except, except for the lucky hermaphrodite, they won’t have, I say they, lucky zodiacans, won’t have to change one bit. |
