Flowers from the Volcano - Fourteen volcanos rise

Each volcano looks differently. It’s not a look of beauty. It’s like Billie Holiday’s Strange Fruit. Something different, or is it something no one should ever see? Perhaps, it startles the eyes. It might only leave a touch of long lasting blindness.

When love is magical, it doesn't melt. It remains. It grows. It never dies. Now, let's study what ingredient gives love these special qualities? Maybe autumn is a freely given entity. It's like an angel in the snow. Is it possible to put Magic in a frame? Maybe not. It's not a portrait. It's not a landscape or a still life. So often I deal with the unknown. That X is still with me. We met in another state, at a different time. Suddenly, it became time to return to one of those destinations.

The Seasons Display Their Moods

never realized until tonight the seasons are clones of ourselves. The swish of a leaf is a mood. The fall of a snow pile from a roof is a mood. Crying flowers are a little lost boy or girl lost. Ability to fry an egg on the sidewalk is again a mood. It's you and me wanting all to know we are suffering.

Abandoned by her mother at age seven, Alexandra Winslow takes solace in the mysteries she reads with her devoted father—and soon she is w...

At a point in The Right Time by Danielle Steel, the characters seem adjusted and happy. However, this is only the shallow side of the water. They are not really happy. Like most of us,it is believed pretending all is fine will lead them to tremendous happiness. It's about not dealing with the real world. Therefore, it's no shock that these people are writing fiction, making movies and pretending their bodies are ageless. The question is how does a person know when to stop playing and realize they are now living in real time?
