Story telling is an exciting journey. Readers traverse the inky landscape of surprise and intrigue not dissimilar to riding rapids. The riders embrace the swiftly flowing waterways. Savouring the journey, they pause before undertaking another trip, only momentarily satisfying an insatiable hunger – likewise a reader cannot be placated until the closing chapter. Even then the hunger for another story is unyielding. A writer’s words dance, playfully coaxing the reader to continue.

Hi, dear Allie-Millie! Your message is attractively and creatively presented and very inspirational. It reminds me of Dr. Carl Sagan's Pale Blue Dot:
ReplyDelete"Our posturings, our imagined self-importance, the delusion that we have some privileged position in the Universe, are challenged by this point of pale light. Our planet is a lonely speck in the great enveloping cosmic dark. In our obscurity, in all this vastness, there is no hint that help will come from elsewhere to save us from ourselves.
The Earth is the only world known so far to harbor life. There is nowhere else, at least in the near future, to which our species could migrate. Visit, yes. Settle, not yet. Like it or not, for the moment the Earth is where we make our stand.
It has been said that astronomy is a humbling and character-building experience. There is perhaps no better demonstration of the folly of human conceits than this distant image of our tiny world. To me, it underscores our responsibility to deal more kindly with one another, and to preserve and cherish the pale blue dot, the only home we've ever known.” ― Carl Sagan, Pale Blue Dot: A Vision of the Human Future in Space
Thank you very much for giving me something to think about today, dear friend Allie-Millie. Enjoy the rest of your week!
