Once upon a time....

"Do you remember the wonderful bedtime stories from your childhood? Do you have a favorite—or were you like me, and all of them were your favorites? Did your mother or father read you the story? Did you see them in the theater? Listen to them on the phonograph? Perhaps you watched them on video, DVD, or downloaded them directly from the Net. It doesn’t really matter how you heard or watched the story, it’s more important that they were meaningful to you in some important way. A piece of nostalgia comes with each bedtime story. And, there’s something wonderfully comforting about the words “Once Upon a Time.”

their lives, their wants and desires.  I was on chapter four.  Peculiar that I remember how the chapter started.  The lead character faced a crossroads in his journey. He stood at a fork in the road. He had to choose which path would lead him home.  Signs along each road offered advice: one sign indicated the path lead to humility, the second pride.  The desperate young boy on the side of the road had to choose.  I thought  it was a spellbinding choice.  Pride or humility…”

Sometimes you need to get out of town

A Little bit of Chaos

"We need a bit of chaos in our lives from time to time. It is the only way some people can find purpose.  If not by choice, then by accident. It forces us to consider what we have done, and what we should be doing.  Sometimes it is the only way men can change—to be confronted by strife, forced to resolve it." from Nadka Desmaines (a character in "The Lonely Farmer" - watch for it coming soon from AnyWho Editions.
