Dinosaurs
Author’s note: I had grand ideas for the Soaring Twenties Social Club Symposium this month. Every month a roving band of flâneurs, artists, writers and layabouts create something around a set theme. The theme was dinosaurs. But as the month went on my grand ambition shrank from a long story, to a short story, to flash fiction to… this.
Diplodocus chewed the trees
Icthysaurus roamed the seas

| A decent potted overview of Packer's life, but the transitions to discussion of his thought are jarring instead of being woven through his story. There's no real connection drawn between the two. ...more | |

| An excellent overview of Packer's thought. As always, ad fontes, but Storms does a great job of driving you there himself. He's certainly added to my reading list. ...more | |

"A symbolic story, with Dragons, Knights, and Kings, to represent the Biblical story of Jesus overcoming sin & death.
I think this story is told beautifully, in a rhyming, heroic story-telling way. For younger readers, they may "miss" the Biblical sym" Read more of this review » |

“Most of us are called on to perform tasks far beyond what we can do. Our capabilities seldom match our aspirations, and we are often woefully unprepared. To this extent, we are all Assistant Pig-Keepers at heart.”

“Fairy tales do not tell children the dragons exist. Children already know that dragons exist. Fairy tales tell children the dragons can be killed.”

“War must be, while we defend our lives against a destroyer who would devour all; but I do not love the bright sword for its sharpness, nor the arrow for its swiftness, nor the warrior for his glory. I love only that which they defend.”

“If more of us valued food and cheer and song above hoarded gold, it would be a merrier world.”

“All that is gold does not glitter,
Not all those who wander are lost;
The old that is strong does not wither,
Deep roots are not reached by the frost.
From the ashes a fire shall be woken,
A light from the shadows shall spring;
Renewed shall be blade that was broken,
The crownless again shall be king.”
― The Fellowship of the Ring
