If the Constitution Could Talk, What Would It Say About Masks?

If the Constitution Could Talk, What Would It Say About Masks?

If the Constitution could talk, what would it say about wearing masks? It might say something like this.

My meaning can only be construed by your own interpretation. Yet those interpretations must be based on what is written and what can logically follow.

Look first at the Preamble, wherefore is written “we the people”; hundreds of thousands of people have already perished. Further, my Preamble…

“The Time-Comber’s Book, #8: Self Critical in Victorian England" (Flash Fiction Series)

Then she glanced at the frames and stopped...I felt the Victorian's heart gathering around a memory in her mind—then her heart fell. “Why did I do that?” she whispered to herself. “I shouldn't have done that....” #historicalfiction #flashfiction #fantasy #spiritualfiction #regret #selfcritical #victorian

Entry #8

The portal brought me to my next stop: what appeared a beautiful tea parlor in Victorian times. A woman with voluminous hair piled on her hand, not a strand out of place and looking as a piece of artwork on its own, scrambled all about. The room itself was in lovely form: A set of matching chairs with small blankets for guests hanging over their backs encircled a round table. On the side…

I can’t believe there’s a situation warranting this story…and most of all, that it could be real.

Not Afraid..."Cautious"

There are any number of actual reasons for caution — which makes it not a fear-based reaction but a rational train of thought that simply doesn't lead to a good end. #flashfiction #microfiction #microstory #fantasy #unicorn #fear #wednesdaywisdom #writerwednesday #originalwritingbybp

Words can be very subtle — and often the subtleties cause issues when put together with our hasty ideas.

For example, people are too quick to label something as “fear” — but people also confuse caution and fear — which can be two very different things.

You may doubt something (or someone) because you have facts that add up to something not working out. You may be cautious because of similar…

"What She Will Do with an English Degree" (aka "She Showed Them!")*

While everyone has heard of editors, proofreaders and the like, seemingly no one makes the connection between those jobs and people with English degrees. #writerwednesday #englishdegree #englishmajor #microstory #flashfiction #microfiction #tinytale #amwriting #visualarts #originalwritingbybp

Something that drives every English major crazy while going through school is the question “What are you going to do with an English degree?”

At one point, while working through college, I overheard a former supervisor saying, “She’s getting an English degree. You can’t do anything with that!”

And I was happy for the irony when, after graduating, I turned in my notice and mentioned I was going to…

Mercury sextile or trine Neptune

You are creative, perceptive, and imaginative. You draw heavily on your imagination and intuition to come to conclusions and make decisions. You easily sense the thoughts and feelings of others, and you are adaptable in your communications as you pay attention to how your words are received. You express yourself with subtle flair, sensitivity, and perhaps some charming quirkiness. You have an appreciation, and perhaps talent, for photography, the arts, poetry, fiction, spirituality, advertising, and promotion. You are naturally open to metaphysical or spiritual concepts. You might believe in things that others discard, and some with this position at least seem a little naive or childlike. Many of you have psychic ability, or at least very good hunches.

“The Time-Comber’s Sketchbook, #4: Depth of Heart at a 1940's Fairground” (Flash Fiction Series)

"And I felt, from that artist, a heavy heart….And here he was, supposed to make something beautiful — something awe-inspiring — when he felt anything but inspired in his harsh world." #microfiction #originalbybp #microstory #tinytale #lightworkers #wednesdaywisdom #reality #truth

      Entry #4

A beautiful fairground in the 1940’s….I was floating through my current destination very slowly, taking in all the colors, sights and sounds.

In the back, among wrapped-up carousel horses, likely back-ups for the merry-go-round’s usual horses, was an artist standing with all sorts of glorious paint colors. In front of him stood a “blank” carousel horse — completely white, with…
