Happy Easter to all who celebrate!
And for all who engage with this season of Renewal...
In any way:
Be it actively, consciously, or subtly... or all 3!
In any style or tradition in the universe entire...
All my very best wishes for love, growth, and compassion
To you and yours!
An aside: Meant to get this up yesterday on the actual day,
But too sick.
Today, I'm thinking renewal, new life, and healing
Work every day as well as those especially set aside.
That's what I'm going for today. :)

Hans Christian Andersen, mover of mountains,
Hearts, & seas with words! Now I think we can all agree that 205 is
A certain kind of milestone in time.
Happy Birthday, Hans, though I'm guessing
You've changed your name once again by now.
I was going to start an every-so-often little game here
Where I post the first paragraph of an important'
Work of literature (; I probably still will... later)
And you all can suss it out, or not, as the case may be.
But THIS story, one of my favorites by this master of the short form
deserves to be read in entirety.
Don't worry, it won't take long, whether
Familiar with it you are... or not (says Yoda)
So, this time you get the whole story, via

Down to a tee.

Happy April everyone!
We all be Fools at least for one day...
And that's no mean thing to be...

Marshmallow treat since the Stay Puft Man.
Her eyes seemed almost completely closed.
"Will the cat eat my bowl?" she asked.
This was a poignantly painfully beautiful film
I saw back in the day.Each of the following uploads
Just shows still shot rather than video -
I'm guessing it's to make it easier to close our eyes. Ederlezi is a song accompanying one of the more
Memorable scenes from this extraordinary
Capture of magical realism
From an ancient culture that brings it to the
Here and NowI cried for hours on the ground after seeing it.
But that's just me...
If you know me, you'll understand the
Empathic, Effusive nature behind it all.The One - the whole and only
A film.I wanted to put the clip from the film's scene
But due to nudity, I'll leave it out -
Easy enough to find on YouTube...
Such a shame... as it's beautiful and wholesome.
Naturally yours.Still sorting out what to do about these matters.
But as I'm THIS TIRED I thought I'd leave that
Thinking thing for another time...As far as the movie's themes ~another time as well....
Por favor.
To sleep perchance to dream, tis my hope for this night.First iteration from film; second from studio.
