Fireflies on a Summer Evening
Seeing a firefly is commonly considered a sign of good luck and prosperity. In that case, we earned a ton of good luck on early summer evenings when I was young.
Forget snow and cold and winter. It’s after dinner, at dusk, and our neighborhood friends have gathered in the front yard next door for Red Light Green Light or Statues. June bugs are attacking porch lights (and anyone in the way). Kids ar Read more of this blog post »

"I have never wanted so badly for the characters in a book to be real. I want to meet them all the way I want to meet the president, or Taylor Swift.

"thrilling! its partial state reveals a lot about eddison's greatness, two main points:

The Mezentian Gate (The Zimiamvian Trilogy, #3):
"3.5 - 4 stars
The final (unfinished) volume of Eddison’s Zimiamvia trilogy is just as serpentine as its siblings. Playing yet again with time, this third published volume of the series actually takes place first chronologically as Eddison takes the re" Read more of this review » |

“One does not argue about The Wind in the Willows. The young man gives it to the girl with whom he is in love, and, if she does not like it, asks her to return his letters. The older man tries it on his nephew, and alters his will accordingly. The book is a test of character. We can't criticize it, because it is criticizing us. But I must give you one word of warning. When you sit down to it, don't be so ridiculous as to suppose that you are sitting in judgment on my taste, or on the art of Kenneth Grahame. You are merely sitting in judgment on yourself. You may be worthy: I don't know, But it is you who are on trial.”

“It is a Call to Life – a full, authentic life. It is a Call to rise from the half-sleep of our existence, and take up our part in the great unfolding of the world. To become a Voice of the Wells. We must answer the Call, or forever be lost in the Wasteland. For many women, that Call occurs at midlife. Dante expressed it perfectly, in the opening lines of The Divine Comedy: ‘Midway upon the journey of my life I found myself in a dark wood, where the right way was lost.’ Most women experience major change in these middle years: physical change or professional; social or psychological; changes in our family and our relationships. Our children leave home. We are overtaken by disillusionment and dissatisfaction. We find ourselves unhappy in our jobs, in our marriages. We develop physical illnesses, anxiety or depression. Rage and grief threaten to overwhelm us. We begin to contemplate our own mortality. We question who we are, who we might have been, who we might yet become. We question our spiritual values and our material values. We begin to wonder what we are doing with our lives, what meaning we might find. We open our eyes a little wider, and take in the world beyond ourselves. For the first time, we see the Wasteland for what it is.”
