You resonate
Like a harp
Left on
Apollo’s altar,
Catching the wind
At the end of day
Giving forth music
As the westering sun
Turns the
Wine dark sea to gold.
I haven’t been idle…really. Joomla has just put out a second Beta prior to coming out with a new release candidate. Supposedly the new version is much better than the [...]

I opened up Joomla the other free open source web maker that comes highly rated, and have been looking at the EXTREMELY well written directions! Thus far, it seems light years ahead of Drupal in the way that it is explained and the way that it operates. Everything is so logical and so incredibly [...]

I think that I have been wasting my time trying to figure out the basics of the web building program, Drupal. I have no idea why I attempted this time consuming project.

Suddenly with no warning her face crumpled into an intense expression of grief, perhaps at a thought of something sad in her life, he speculated.

I had a teacher once whose words spoken with a quiet [...]

It’s been rain mixed with sun today. The sword fern are sending forth new growth and their fiddle heads are in the process of uncurling.
Also the lilacs are at their height. I have two bushes, one on the front corner of the house and the other by the porch [...]

I tried to ignore the tons of rock which seemed poised to drop onto me as I squeezed through the narrow crevice, covering myself with the wet clay of the cave. I had never known any symptoms of claustrophobia before I had entered this small cave in search of some elusive Collembola. It was mid-January [...]

A while back, I became interested in the idea of what it would mean to lead a simple life. I found this one religion/philosophy which seems to embrace this idea. Some of it’s major tenets are:
1. The universe is comprised of a basic unity–a mysterious force which is unknowable and which is the origin of [...]
