Wonderful.<br /><br />Referring to GrandMother Earth as a space ship was just...just such out of the box thinking! I love it when I read something and gasp out loud because I've been given a completely new way to look at something. Thanks for that.Nicki Elsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11412032684225126973noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8681132888977525688.post-53154776655148736612010-10-19T03:48:42.343-05:002010-10-19T03:48:42.343-05:00Hi,

Because they lack 'show' for the most part, they have to be really well done and not just a dry recollection of thoughts and happenings.<br /><br />An all tell book would make me crazy if I had to read it. <br /><br />Telling is fine when it's done well, like this. <br /><br />Deep. Provocative. Foreboding.....<br /><br />I love 'twilight's children' and the father-daughter dance analogy. <br /><br />If GrandMother healed her, wouldn't she be able to see?The Words Crafterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14520267901489487512noreply@blogger.com
