I see that your writing is changing, improving. Perhaps it is the flies. I would not get rid of them till certain what, if any, affect they have on your expressiveness. I like how you use them to ground the flow of your ink by coming back to them as though they are an anchor point in the telling and not just some pesky house fly that comes and goes. Your writing today seem to have many clever word plays and tongue twisters like "Bubbles of troubles in muddles of quandary." Personally I like words and phrases that make me exercise my tongue and oddly add more juice to the reading and more saliva to my mouth. Keep it up! I like that your theme of love keeps widening as it spins around in your mind and the play of the pen. With each spiral different images/intuitions arise and yet you astutely refuse to spin out with them and continue the discipline of coming back to the center. Odo and Major Kiera would be pleased. Yes Odo was indeed a most complex character playing with love off the foil of the Major and the goo. I wonder what a musing of yours would look like if there was more Quark and less quirk?

Oh let ALL the trekkies come out of the closet! There's no avarice in quarks, yet my inner Quark is still, in deep space underneath it all, good hearted. This is fun, Robert, thank you for taking the time to take in the writing and respond so deLightfully in the spirit. I love wordplay. I did a few videos for the LHE YouTube Channel called "Word Play with Anrael." Perhaps that's what I should call my podcast now that I think about it. We are dealing with "the Word made flesh and dwelling among US." 😍 I'll have to ponder that, but I'm suddenly liking it a lot. Word Play -- that's what it's all about, isn't it?
