galenkp chose to mute this post in retaliation, among other shady behind the scenes behaviour since I gave him the boot somewhere around two years ago. He has muted this post because I chose not to allow him to control me, give me orders, influence what I write, who to upvote, who not to upvote, whose posts to comment on, whose posts to ignore, etc.
No one controls me. I have always been and will always be captain of my own ship. Deal with it.

Beautiful text to accompany beautiful images. In the words of the philosopher, Eddie Van Halen 'Might as well Jump'

Uh huh.
Lol. Derision or agreement?
Translating (my meaning of) "Uh huh" is neither. It means something akin to that being interesting plus food for thought plus consideration of whatever it is. I never say it meaning derision or agreement.
Noted.
So serious in your notation. I thought about it and see how that comes across as either derision or agreement. Sends points to G-dog, maybe a chuckle too?
I'll take them points Nine, I have to amass them where I can.
Cliff jumping into the void is the way to fly 😉

This is a really pleasing piece nineclaws, a nice fiction that reads well, feels comfortable. I like the stepping up to the edge then off it part; that's something so many are unable to do for whatever reason but often it's over that edge where things begin to open up.
Thanks for getting involved.
Thank you. I suck at fiction. Nothing else be said. Yes, I'm going to critique myself first. Fiction writing is a work in progress, so I'll keep chiseling away at it. I'm studying yours to learn.
Cliff jumping is how I roll 😉
You're welcome. I'm happy to be involved.
Oh yeah, you write so terribly. [Australian sarcasm]
Shaddap! You write well. 😁
Also, I've jumped off some cliffs also. A few times. Always seemed to live although there was this one time I went splat at the bottom and died. All good, I just got up, dusted myself off and got on with it.
My standards for myself are out of this world. There's a good solid reason for that too. For others, it's balanced, as they should be.
Writing I do very well at: critical analysis, business writing, contracts, procedural manuals, legal documents, formal communications. The rest is a work in progress.
I would expect you have done so. The question is though, will you jump of "the cliff"?
Depends of circumstances and what or who is at the bottom and how badly I'm needed there.
You don't go to any bottom, never even see it, when jumping off this one. Instead, you fly.
I've flown a lot. And so we come back to airline food. 😂
Not that kind of flying, no airplane needed. Broaden those horizons and spread your wings beyond what your eyes can actually see. 😉
Lol, I know. Was just being an idiot.
Testing....testing 1...2...3
Yup, there's the laugh! I thought silly not idiot, since silliness is my aspiration (thanks Dad). 😂
I tend to do both. I call it being a silliot.
😂 I like that.

Lol, you know me and my wordmakeuperising.
That was a good one! Now "wordmakeuperising" makes it sound like you are putting make up on words as they rise. 😂😂😂
Wordiferation is a moving target, one must remain vigilant.
Does "wordiferarion" drive a Ferrari and what colour, if so?

I don't know, but I did once, around Modena, Italy. It was a good experience, but I'd never own one.
Sounds like the ideal place to take one out for a run. Can't say I'd want such a thing either. I prefer useful over flashy.
I'd just toured the factory where they're made and the Fiorano test track. Was a pretty legit day. Nope, didn't buy one, nor will I.
They couldn't sell the salesman.
Lol...Nah, I didn't have enough money...Or the desire to own one.
You'd need the whole kit and caboodle to go with the car, so that gets very pricey indeed.
I'd rather use that money for holidays and living life; I have no need for a car like that to do that.
Very true. What places are on your holiday list? Italy for one I'd bet.
Well, I've been to Italy several times but I love it so yes, Italy for sure. Same with France; no matter how many times I go I want to go again.
I'd like to go to Croatia, Greece, Cypress, Germany, Austria again, Poland, Russia, South Africa, selected parts of America, Canadamadia, Scandinavia (only been to Finland)...Was due for some travelling there last year but C19 fucked it up. I'll go to New Zealand again (lovely place) and will travel Australia some more. There's a few. It's probably easier to say everywhere. SO many places, so little time and money. I'm resourceful though.
Well, that's quite a list. Definitely to easier to say "everywhere" as you've said. I'm sure you're quite resourceful.
I have one place only on my list. I'll see how things play out and if I make it there.
I hope you make it, wherever it is. To be honest I'd be happy for a cabin in the woods to by my destination. I've travelled a lot and whilst I'd like to do more, a cabin in the woods seems like a good final destination.
If I do, I do. If I don't I don't. It's a matter of where my inner guide leads me to go, so not really up to me.
Have you done the cabin in the woods before?
Yeah, I have, for a reasonable time too. Self contained. Was pretty sweet. Not long enough. Forest, creek, lake, porch, rocking chair pointing west...No one for about 50 kilometres.
Sounds absolutely wonderful. Pretty sweet indeed. I like the rocking chair, lol. Now what about a cat? That seems to be a missing element to the picture.
There's always a cat.
😂 I'm relieved. Now how about a bird, the right kind and a small lizard?
Eagle.
Blue tongue lizard.
Googlematise it.
Are you suggesting I don't know what an eagle looks like? Btw, I don't use that thingword you named there as a search engine, nor is that thingword in my vocabulary, so I don't even recognize it, nor thought process it as anything other than go look it up. I'm more techie than that thingword you stated there.
Very cool lizard, btw. I quite like that despite never having been a big fan of reptiles, but at times they can be amenable, interesting, even fun, upon self-reflection.
#getcurrent
#knowyourtech
Nope, but I bet you don't know what a blue tongue lizard looks like without Goolingerising it.
...aand, I was right.
You know what that expression is about falling?

What a great story :) !!! Exactly what is he? A ghost or something from another dimension?

@nineclaws! I sent you a slice of $PIZZA on behalf of @wrestlingdesires.
Did you know you can trade $PIZZA on Hive-Engine, Tribaldex, or LeoDex? (4/10)
Wellll....he's a kind of winged creature but you can't really see his true form. You have to be able to look through the dimensions to catch a glimpse of it. 😉
Thank you for the pizza and alive! 😊
So he looks human???
I have part three done by the way :) https://ecency.com/hive-150329/@wrestlingdesires/discord-among-demons
My pleasure, have some more :)
!PIZZA !ALIVE
@nineclaws! I sent you a slice of $PIZZA on behalf of @wrestlingdesires.
Have you voted for Pizza teams Hive witness (pizza.witness)? (2/10)
Yes, he looks human, fades into the background until he doesn't. 😂😂😂 Thanks for the link, much appreciated.
I posted the one with cemetery story and photos. In one photo, you can see the mausoleum behind me and part of the cemetery.
I'll save it until I finish engaging :) That's when I let myself browse new posts, and make comments for engaging tomorrow. So far it seems to work better than letting my replies sit for a week because I got involved in reading for too long 😂

After reading the ending about the person embracing their own strength and being their own guide, the above sentence I highlighted made more sense. The guy impacted her and she learned several lessons from him to take on in her own life. Ultimately, she lets go of fear and rekindles with herself.
I am wondering if the fear is the fear of losing the guy or did I misunderstand it and it is something else? Currently, I have two interpretations in mind but I will let you clarify.
You are correct in your first paragraph. Hit the nail on the head!
The fear is about fear of letting go of the one thing she clung desperately to as means of keeping control over her life path. Losing the guy is always inevitable since all relationships are temporary, even if they last until one's dying breath, they still end. In the story, he facilitated her going home to what she'd been searching for her entire life without realizing what it was.
hehehhehe so my second interpretation was correct. This was a very beautifully written post btw. The images fall into place too. I see the drops image and I meet again LOL. Also, I feel like I can smell the first image from here. I used to have a very similar looking drawer 🤣 (or a cupboard maybe??)
Not sure which I like more, the title or Camphor.

The beginning reminded me of a story by Lester del Rey. I can't pinpoint the name right now, but it's about man capturing God in a faraway future. The way all the interaction is set up took me to that reference.
Well that's interesting. I'm not familiar with Lester del Rey at all.
This is one of those weird experiences that kind of fits more with your mother's outlook I think. Unless you want to dive into the void 😉
Ha, ha, ha, ha. My mind isn't closed for understanding stuff I don't believe. I do plenty of delving into myth and religion to understand plenty of the human experience. It is a nice story.
Closed mindedness isn't something I'd associate with you at all. I do like to tease you quite a bit because you're pretty cool about that. I'd say you know more about myths than I do. Religion is something I've dug into a lot, in terms of studying it, so I can play tennis on that field. Myths, I'm lacking the tennis balls and techniques for.
Thank you, I have a very different opinion of what I've written. So much work to do with regard to fiction. It's far easier for me to write academic papers, critical analysis, or business writing. Fiction is so radically different. Transition takes time I think.
Does it mean you don't like what you wrote? Because that's part of the transition to write fiction. Everything needs a lot of editing and improvement all of the time. I'd rather write an academic paper. Had to do a lot of those and I like researching.
About myths, the important thing to know about them is that they are the first attempts to explain phenomena in human times. Some of them are stories about the beginnings or why something happens or is the way it is. It's a fascinating experience.
There's a YouTube Channel called Crash Course that does an interesting take on how to introduce people to the whole myth thing. It's an amazing work and it gives you some references to start digging more.
I don't dislike or like it. I feel completely neutral about what I wrote. There are reasons for that concerning this particular piece of writing. I don't typically have such a detached final viewpoint of what I create, lol.
I'm more comfortable with writing what is familiar to me. That is exactly why I need to push beyond those limits.
My perspective on myths has been fundamentally altered in the last several years. I would need to study them from that perspective. As you've said, "They are the first attempts to explain phenomena in human times"; so that would be why. I'm also having the same experience where art history is concerned, even though I've studied it, I need to look at it again from this new perspective.
I'm a little bit familiar with myths, just never spent the time studying them. I think I'd prefer to study them without being led to see them a particular way. I don't even have the time to do this or other reading that I meant to look at, so it's all a moot point at present, sadly.
