Philea’s Voice

Philea didn’t let me down again today. Her voice remains as clear as glacier fresh filtered water. My only involvement was as typist to catch the words as they shot out. It was lovely and astonishing witnessing her character evolve through these chapters. She re-adjusted what she knew of herself and the situation, made new assessments and decisions, and re-discovered her courage, strength, and commitment.

Of course, the story turned corners that were blind to me until I turned them. So the novel and series moves forward, word by word, at what feels like a mincing pace because there’s so much to see, hear, find, and share. But when I step back and take in the entire picture, its breadth and depth surprises me. It’s like walking on a beach, and stopping to see where you are, and confronting the enormity of the ocean’s sound and power.

Great day of writing like crazy. On to other endeavors.

Before Time Lies

Before time lies

and says you died

and that maybe you never were

find the sun

and get things done

stroke a cat and feel a purr

look into yourself

for what you want to be

and how you want to live

before time lies

and says time to die

and you find that it’s the end

Cathentic

Cathentic (catfinition) – a feline who epitomizes the traits, appearance, qualities and behavior of a cat, from the cool aloofness to the soft fur, sweet curiosity, and love of sunshine.

In use: “Cathentic in the cationary has a picture of Meep beside it, for the ginger boy has all the characteristics listed in the description.”

Friday’s Theme Music

Watching Bernadette Peters in Mozart in the Jungle reminded me of the movie she did with Clint Eastwood, Pink Cadillac. I never thought much of that movie. It seemed to drag and was straightforward, without much comedy or thought. But, my synapses also linked up to a song, “Pink Cadillac” by Bruce Springsteen. Released in 1984, the song echos with a beat and sound from decades before, with a quasi Peter Gunn feel. I like it. A good song to stream while walking through a day trying to find spring.
