It is the second Saturday in the Month of Study. We pass days of ill omen without comment, and emerge safely on the other side, where we take note of that for which we are grateful, all around us.

Glad you're all here. smile


You may feel alone, a small island of green in a sea of rocky browns and gray...



You may look around and find nothing to which to relate. There may be ominous signs and portents that you are nothing and could easily be crushed.



You may feel truly alone...




But there is hope. There's a whole world of green. I can't promise that you or I will ever find it, but even if not... remember you are an outpost of that green in a sea of rocky browns and gray.

And the green is there...



Go to it, or spread it. Either way, it is there.



Then, perhaps, you are the gray in an ocean of blue. There's a purpose there, too.



but then, that's a story for another time.

Questions, to this point:

SPOILERS! (Click to view)

If you could instantly be granted one talent or skill, what would it be? One realistic and one complete fantasy answer cheerfully accepted!

and

If you had to be haunted by a ghost, tell me about the ghost by which you would be haunted.

and

What cartoon character would you like you are most like, and why?

and

A plain box, two feet long, one foot wide, one foot high, arrives in your mail. There's no return address, but it's definitely addressed to you. It gives you no reason for alarm, so you decide to open it. What's inside?

and

Pick a figure from history. Pick one major event in their story. Tell how you would do things differently, and what the result would be.

and

What's the one greatest bit of wisdom you can offer me?

and

What do you think is a good reason to get married, and why? If there is no good reason, why?

and

What's your handwriting like?

and

What's something of which you are afraid?

and

You've been shipwrecked, stranded on an island for at least a year. One morning you are walking on the beach, and in the sand, you come upon one footprint. Yes, one. No footprints leading to it, no footprints leading from it. What is your reaction? (Bonus points if you choose to tell how it happened. )

and

What was something you did today that you enjoyed?

and

Do you believe in magic?



My answer to last time's question...

I don't believe in much of anything I haven't seen or that can't be proven. I don't say this with scorn, but more with a touch of sadness. I would never discourage anyone in their beliefs, because I do... believe... the world is an odd and flexible thing and may very well be different for different people.

And hope is a different beast than belief.


My question this time:

What's your question for me?
