Bounce

And so I spring once upon the grass and leap into the air, my wings unfolding and throwing distance toward the ground and I roll and look back at where I left, at what was just said. I am intrigued – another lays hold to the chapters of my book? This is a mysterious and potent invocation; I am delighted with this new play, this intrigue.

Feet toward the spot, as if I am tied by a teather, I circle slowly with a bemused expression. Word magik was just invoked, and I was its target. A contender, indeed, this is good sooth. But was it intentional? I evaluate as a comrade, as an adversary. Was the invocation intended? What was its payload? I have been sprung but no not to what end!

Was the answer already presented? Have I been shown the rube? Too many questions, too many answers! I must study this, see what I may have missed. But a game is afoot, now, is it not?

Perhaps not a new chapter, but a new awakening?

I debated the ‘awakening’ word choice….but alas, maybe its so….

A new…consideration, then? I am open to receiving new considerations; you may continue to wife your craft. What is next? !

identify what you really really want…..

I want you to come visit here.

RYN: Thank you for answering one of my questions! I really wondered about it and I know many Native Americans but didn’t want to ask beacause I didn’t want to offend anyone in any way. I’m in the NE and in this area we have an abundance of cultures from the Six Nations. I’ve attended a few pow wows and I find the culture intriguing. They’re spirituality, love of nature, and family emphasis is….

beautiful and beyond comparison to any other culture I have ever studied. Thanks again for the answer. =)

RYN: Well, i’m nice to everyone mostly…so i hear where your coming from. but what sparked this was one in particular…we had been friends for a good 4 years. and i did assert myself. only to have my heart, soul, and self-esteem crumpled like last weeks newspaper. then tossed out the car window on the highway, to be run over by countless other cars.

when?

Whenever you are ready…not before. Wait, I am daft…. *laughing* Which weekends are good for you? Next weekend, I have a video project (editing) that would be very boring if you were here. But, the weekend of the 30th? *tailwagging*

Soul searching or hunting, Parra?

RYN: i don’t tokenize or trivialize people. the ‘game’ i was speaking of was merely the myriad of social dances we perform and the ‘win’ is just another word for reaching a goal. the goal is obviously different for anyone…for me the ‘win’ is just the start of a relationship. that’s when the board game gets put away, and the much grander real game of life begins.

You are so cute… RYN: wow?

I was hoping that you are doing well b/c I’ve not heard from you in a while….. are you doing okay hon? how’s your sister? how are YOU>???????

and so i find myself amused and gratified reading this latest pithy piece. methinks you love fantasy fiction and forsooth, what is not to love? i will return in a while to see what more portentious signs spring forth from your evergreen pen to burble, smiling sublime, onto the blank parchment(grins and dips sharply to the left).
