I walk in the desert, sometimes on straightaways, sometimes on hills. I learned something from the hill walks: she who goes up, must come down. And sometimes “down” means a very steep grade. I discovered that it was much easier to get to the bottom of these steep hills if I zigzagged from one edge...

My work in progress has a scene where the hero is escaping across a desert with a group of acquaintances, so as I take my daily walk I try to see what he would see, such as a ghost moon and a ghost sun.

I look out my kitchen window just in time to watch a cactus wren fly toward a small saguaro cactus and then land on it, quite safely. It always amazes me to see this, and I wonder, every time, how does the bird know how to land without getting hurt?
Without thinking it, this line is in my...

In this segment I will discuss and expound the three voices of the world

As promised this is the follow-up to Jan 09 Blog. If you have followed me throughout the past year, you will recall, that I spoke concerning various factors, which lend themselves to this dilemma. To recap, the parable of Achilles instructed us that we lend ourselves, just as the trees of Lebanon...
