Quoted in the Grove:
I want to stay as close to the edge as I can without going over. Out on the edge you see all kinds of things you can’t see from the center.
~Kurt Vonnegut, Jr

I shut my eyes in order to see.
~Paul Gauguin

Would there be this eternal seeking if the found existed?
~Antonio Porchia

Posted from the Grove:
The editor of the Wordgrove Post & Review will be absent a brief time while relocating for a year to focus on a writing project. This place will require new internet connections. With travel and setup time, and with sporadic access in between, there will be a couple weeks of inconsistent presence before returning full time to WG

A focus on writing being the essential reason and purpose of Wordgrove, it was important to have someone with that same goal at the helm in those between times. Piffin has been asked to stand in as host for Thurs Word Games, and as editor for the Post & Review from Mar 6, until this editor returns sometime in *scratches head* late March. It’ll be a good and interesting time for everyone, especially me … um, the editor

One suggestion of Piffin’s with wide approval won’t be waiting until March to start, but began last Thurs. From hereon, a single person becomes responsible for choosing both the Impromptu and Prewritten assignments for the week. This will remove the fatal dithering that has become the process for choosing until now. Most excellent. Show up for details

Prewritten for Thurs (02.20) 6 pm PT/9 ET is: carbon, trousers

@Writers Platform
Glass Table: no new drops

Prewritten: note, mesh

~Greymane: untitled
Journeys of the fallen fighting up thru failures; please, is there a reason for this … or is it a case of divine insanity, godly inattention or a deified caprice that decided life should be lived as hell?

~Piffin: haiku (quoted)

I wrote a note to
Piscators; phonetic net,
Penmanship a mesh

~BarTalk: A Scourge of Turkeys

Impromptu: Theme – Valentine’s Day

~Piffin: “Valentine’s Day” Years encapsuled in a day

~Greymane: Valentines Day
Cupid has a lot to answer for; there’d be no broken hearts later, or the happiness now

@Creative Intentions ~ The ever-morphing nature of art is represented again by Jessalee’s protean paz, Creative Intentions. Jessa is looking for specific types of places as well as hidden and unusual sites in There that might be used in her There-based epic, No Longer Spoken. Please check out her flyer in front of the large ThereyBook Tales display for details. Her new location is west of the platform, a bit up the hill and south of Cinderella Sneakers. Look for Japanese maples and a field of falling hearts
