finally, a step into tomorrow
i shook my head, no no no
we won't go back to those
we won't go back
for here is alone in the
beat of the drum of the
heart of the wood in the
dreaming of the years
now
shadowfall & the
autumn decay bursting
forth underboot scenting
my way home

This is very positive. Forward is perhaps the way to get back to what is true.
Sometimes the old ways are what is most true and real. I’m beginning to think that more as time goes on.
Yes. I think that modern societies put a lot of pressure, especially on the young, to buy into capitalist and materialistic culture and, once they’ve been sucked in, it becomes very difficult to escape it. Age can be a wonderful thing!
There are times that it is helpful to be older.
Now… Where’d I put my cane? I need it to find my glasses, which I forgot over there…
…or did I? 🤣
Do I know you? 🤪
Rich and reflective. 🍂 Many wonderful interpretations with this piece!
Thank you very much. I prefer to leave enough ambiguity that people can personalize it with their own conclusions and meanings, so I am glad that it allows you to find the space to do so.
I appreciate that approach and perspective. 🙏🏻
Came through from Ravensweald on my Jetpack and I can comment, but it lost the better font it has on your site. Back to our claim that it’s always better to make that actual trip to the blogger’s world. I’m gonna check my reader and see how it looks in there. I’ll let you know.
I’m usually going to everyone’s real page instead of the modified RSS feed of reader these days. Because it is easier to follow conversation threads in the Reader, I still use it, but usually click over to the web version when I can. On mobile (only a concern on your iPad), I usually click *TWICE* to get to the real browser instead of to the skinned browser in Jetpack.
Yeah, Jetpack is easy, but without added
flavor.
Right?
Nope. Still better on Ravensweald than in the reader.
Thanks! That’s because the Reader is just a modified RSS feed renderer, with interconnectivity with WP.com.
RSS feeds by design don’t retain formatting outside of simple font modifiers (bold, emphasis, underline), so you lose a lot by reading blogs in Reader.
Unfortunately, that’s where most folks read blogs, not realizing what they are missing.
It’s definitely more convenient, but I feel like we need a way to move past that. Which is what you’re doing-incentivizing that extra click. MOAR
working on it. 😉
