Wordgrove Post & Review

Quoted in the Grove:

A dreamer is one who can only find his way by moonlight, and his punishment is that he sees the dawn before the rest of the world.
~Oscar Wilde

So many of our dreams at first seem impossible, then they seem improbable, and then, when we summon the will, they soon become inevitable.
~Christopher Reeve

The world needs dreamers and the world needs doers. But above all, the world needs dreamers who do.
~Sarah Ban Breathnach

Posted from the Grove:
Morning is more refreshing waking as the alien in a new world. Locals may experience their home more richly, more intimately, and at levels not available to the newcomer, but they will never see it new again. That advantage goes to the traveler.

For a traveler on the roam, it’s waking to odd new bird calls, curious aromas, novel spices in the cooking, new expectations of the clock. There’s a whole new texture to everything, a new weave to life that’s both fascinating and teeth-gritting. Liberating is a word that comes to mind. Fewer needs is a good phrase to get used to. Eye widening colors, different skyline, curious flora and fauna, bigger bugs; it all gives a body good reasons to pause

Most short-comings in the experience have turned out to be this editor’s fault, but Outlook has not been the emailer’s friend of late. One of the real losses was missing the St Paddy’s Day issue of the Post & Review. It arrived in everyone’s mail box with one of the best Prewritten assignments ever to come out of the grove, but not for the one most eager to see it. This editor would apologize for missing it, but the loss was his

~Greymane: untitled
Death is welcome, self-imposed, yet the stars want their say first; your pain feels all encompassing, yet it is microscopic in its way; step up to your role as human, forgive the failures, let go, turn the one gift you have into advantage: live

Impromptu: ruby, moon

~Jessalee: untitled
Seeds for the Planting Moon, yields at the Harvest Moon for fields and people too

~Greymane: The Serpent
Whether rage itself is the serpent, or the serpent is full of rage, the snake in the cage will find its way … out

~Greenie: Morning Meet
Dream time yields to morning; dawn and a ruby throat; cheek graced by a thrumming bird the size of hope against the sun

~BarTalk: haiku
