Dancing Priest
A novel by Glynn Young
This is a story.
A story of 
the many faces of what we call love
and places it can take us.
A story of
people that will seem familiar to you.
A story of 
life and loss, 
friendship and faith, 
family and trust.
What more could i want?
Just one thing.
I want to see it made into a movie.

Eliminate physical clutter.
More importantly, eliminate spiritual clutter.

that you have to see somebody up close and get to know him
before you can shoot him.

Elephants and grandchildren never forget.
January 14, 1919 – November 4, 2011

Going to bed at night saying we’ve done something wonderful,
that’s what matters to me.

“I think we need to be put back in touch with our childhood…
to be reminded of what’s important,
like memories about people we loved,
or things that happened to us that affected our lives,
things we can laugh about and shed a few tears about…
I think storytelling is a way of saying ‘I love you.
I love you enough to tell you something that means a great deal to me.'”

You will not be able to plug in, turn on and cop out.
You will not be able to lose yourself on skag and skip,
Skip out for beer during commercials,
Because the revolution will not be televised.

Part four: Time and Eternity 1924

Death is a dialogue between
The Spirit and the dust.
“Dissolve” says death – The spirit “Sir
I have another Trust” 
Death doubts it, argues from the ground.
The spirit turns away
Just laying off, for evidence,
An overcoat of clay 
1830 – 1886

THE WORD

Leave a reply
Searching my mind for the perfect word that for a whole year i could hold dear. It does not come, not just one, but, many. More words than i have ever thought of before. Which one is my 2012 word? I will go into the new year once more with no word. A conclusion of a substitution of words not a one will have to do.  An abounding overflow of letters and sounds will be my cup of tea.  The words that come, through me to flow, will speak to my heart soft and low.

Blogging has led me to some delightful, online friendships. Frequent interchange is with a few people that have a great interest in writing. On my travels around the web, i happened upon this photo that i found appealing and wanted to share with my writer friends. I happen to use blank index cards all the time for quick drawings and writing of notes. I will have to use them to write more ideas on how to use them :-)
“Nabokov wrote most of his novels on 3″x 5” note cards, 
keeping blank cards under his pillow for whenever 
inspiration struck. Seen here: a draft of Lolita.”

PLACES

I am thinking that perhaps a trip to the Portland art museum would be a good trip to make one day this week, if Cj wants to go. If she doesn’t, i may go yon anyway. It tends to clear some cobwebs when i step away from my usual environment.

Fort those who are visiting, i am wondering if you would tell me some of the places that you like to go, in your area. Places that help clear the gossamer threads.
