aback wrote a new blog post: Xavier Affair 7 months, 2 weeks ago
The board meeting had reached the ‘any other business’ stage when Xavier, the elderly finance director, said, “Permission to make a personal statement, chairman?” “What do I do now?” the chairman asked the company secretary. “I suppose you had better let him speak, chairman.” “Go ahead, then,” said the chairman, benignly. “I hereby tender my…[Read more] -

Nova was curious, the pretty 23 year old brunette had been with the modeling agency for 2 years and had been to several exotic locations for photo shoots, but this was the first time ever that her assignment was located in a science laboratory in a local state university. Why in the world would a local [...] -
Rayanne F. commented on the blog post Spreading the plague (of happiness) 1 year, 4 months ago
I’ve told a few people with questions about the practical application of these ideas that I wanted to address some examples of how to begin, but felt that merely planting the seed to see that such an effort would be beneficial was running a bit long to launch into an almost entirely new point; however, [...]

Rayanne F. commented on the blog post Where Did The Wonder Go? 1 year, 4 months ago
I love this piece! Very poignant.. I’d rather like to hang it on my wall and read it before leaving the house each day. I think that would be very beneficial in expanding my mind to the possibilities of each day. :)

What is it that’s missing? There’s so much to see Learn touch and feel. We paint our own picture Don’t we? And is there any limit To the colors we choose, Or size of canvas we use? Why do we then define each day With an ink pad and rubber stamp instead? It is all around [...] -

Have you ever been looking forward to something exciting and the day comes and goes, you enjoy yourself, but then you’re left feeling like “Great.. Half the fun was looking forward to that, and now it’s over..”? Even assuming that your excitement was warranted and the occasion was everything you were hoping or more..even then there [...] -

Thank you for your comment! And for contributing to the discussion with the piece you wrote! I like your idea with regard to gleaning the best (as in most functional) parts of modern American society – those that further the goals/values of life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness – and sort of redesign daily [...]

I’d never thought of blackberries as protective mothers, but indeed, they are! I love it when I read someone that gives me new perspective on something I wouldn’t typically think much about.. Thank you.

Rayanne F. wrote a new blog post: Seeking The Village 1 year, 4 months ago
What happened to “the village”? As in, the oft-quoted village in the saying “it takes a village to raise a child.” Indeed, the village I dream of is an ideal place to raise children; however, my longing for it runs much deeper than finding good earth upon which my daughter can make her first mud [...]

more protective of their offspring than grizzly mamas
grasping at your sleeves
holding on tenaciously
tearing at your hands
is that blood or berry juice trickling down your arm?

the sheer pleasure
of berries pressed between the tongue and the roof of the mouth
sweetness reminiscent of the blooms
delight

Claire had decided to film everything she did, and this took more courage than she’d ever had before. She’d thought it through and decided that complete honesty was more important than her pride or her dignity. But it was more than than. She sensed that Charles would understand, and she trusted that he had no questionable [...] -
Genre wrote a new blog post: Writers Write, It’s How They Get Better 1 year, 6 months ago
Dear foolish wound, gaping gash in my pride, self-inflicted affliction of delusions of affection: Bleed all you want in the privacy of solitude, but do not make gaudy show of yourself in public. I’m stitching you up with coarse sutures of reason, joining the ragged edges closed for the sake of modesty. Forty-eight hours of dignity [...] -

Hi Rayanne and welcome to our ’online community’. If you read my piece on Renaissance Man you’ll see how I perceive each of us to be building stones of our communities, and how, for true resiliency within community, the concept of the Renaissance Man is key to not only a fulfilling life as an individual, but for the health of the whole.
