perpetual stairs

A lot of us feel like we’re a square peg in a round hole. What we’ve been through already, is the same as perpetually going up the stairs forevermore. Yet changing directions just means perpetually going downstairs in the exact same place… Maybe if the Apocalypse Tomorrow actually happens, The Awakening of the masses will actually arise. (Kate Chopin 04/22/1899).

With AI taking over, robotics & technology replacing people, it’s definitely becoming The End of the World As We Know It… Is it The End? Some people say it’s not The End of The World… I say they have “toxic positivity“. Even if it’s a Brand New Start, it’s still the end of now. So, let’s try to come together to celebrate each other! Cook dinner tonight!

Blogophilia 43.17: On a Cobweb Afternoon

Hard Bonus: Incorporate a lyric or song by Alice Merton

Easy Bonus: Include a storm cloud

Morning Dew

Spiderwebs, large or small, it depends how big the spiders are… At the treetops or over the river, the winds & rains can batter the web, yet it still stands strong On a Cobweb Afternoon. The cumulonimbus clouds bring the torrential rains: (Mirage Vision album 2026)

Years of fears and fantasies started sinking
But the thoughts in the night never clouded the vision
What will happen to me? What will happen to them?
As I come to the edge of hope and despair
Screaming, “Start the engine”

The spider still spins & fixes, resting as needed to trap its food. A spider’s web is uncannily strong and sometimes catches things much bigger than itself. I’m fascinated with the spider web… Eventually, these are abandoned, and they turn into cobwebs.

Blogophilia 42.17: Too Many Babas

From the House of Marvin Martian & his space pooch Commander K: We just want to take this opportunity to thank ALL of our Blogophilian friends for joining in the challenges each week! WE APPRECIATE ALL OF YOU SO MUCH!

Hard Bonus: Incorporate a song title or lyric by Frankie Valli and/or The Four Seasons

Easy Bonus: Include a C.S. Lewis character

These aren’t Babas

Baa Baa Black Sheep has coarser wool and cannot be dyed another color. Because they’re rare, I wouldn’t want to change the color. Even as a shepherd, I don’t think there’s such a thing as Too Many Babas unless you’re a grandma & getting too many baby bottles than what you need at home while the little peanuts come over to visit…

Crazy wild imaginations are signs of a very creative mind. Sometimes difficult to follow, but always interesting & has the best stories to tell or read. Reepicheep would be My Funny Valentine to go on adventures & more, since he’d understand being irascible & honorable.

Hard Bonus: Mention something related to Easter

Easy Bonus: Include a bird’s egg

Cross My Heart and Hope to Die

The Sign of the Cross isn’t used in other religions, but has been used in various pre-Christian cultures where they used cross shapes, often representing the sun or life. Spring seems to be a celebration of nature’s awakening, marking the end of winter with themes of life, growth, and hope, focusing on fertility and the resurgence of life. The cycle of life honors the meaning of Easter, to me, and just as the Resurrection is the true meaning, I think we can always do the same within out lives to enhance ourselves. Somewhere in a Bird of Prey nest, lies an egg that will hatch into another one. In Wisconsin, we have a diverse array of birds of prey, including bald eagles, peregrine falcons, and various hawks like red-tailed & Cooper’s hawk.
