It occurs to me that a Creator of the universe by definition has to be outside of it. Therefore, said Creator is undefinable and incomprehensible to anyone within that creation. #writing #scifi #paradox

Mother Nature may be beautiful but she wants you dead. She's been trying to kill you since conception. Even a tree wants to dominate everything around it, and would consume you if you'd just sit still. Love nature, but respect it. #environmentalism #nature #Evolution

Personal mythology is the hardest to let go of.

@Sophie_Louise_E Not even close to shutting down, it seems more active than ever. That's why I came back! Can't wait for more of your ocean finds.

Some think a Deity will punish those who cross them. Others think Karma is their avenger. How about a third option: letting go? I've watched people seethe with rage and resentment for years, even decades, over things that had no further bearing on their lives.

I think Devo had it right, we are going backwards. Unless something changes, civilization might end as it began: with hominids huddled fearfully in caves, afraid of nature and each other. #writer #truthorfiction

It occurs to me we really are living in the Old West.
Outlaws are shootin' up the towns, and the yokels are buyin' snake oil cures on every corner.

One reason older people get grumpy is that younger people ignore them. One way to *not* be ignored is to stay relevant. #writingfiction #foreveryoung

Deep thoughts:

Unlike milk, the real tragedy of spilled coffee has little to do with cleaning up the mess.

Just re-read Lorna Doone and realized it would probably never get published today. True of a lot of classics, I imagine. #amwriting #fiction

T.S. Elliot said, “We shall not cease from exploration, and the end of all our exploring will be to arrive where we started and know the place for the first time." Sounds like a lovely definition of a story arc to me... #amwriting #fiction #scifi
