Note: If any of you are unfamiliar with the movie “Treasure Planet” or the book Treasure Island. Go see/read them and come back if you don't want any spoilers. Otherwise, proceed with your own caution. In the lesser known animated Disney film “Treasure Planet”, a sci-fy re-telling of Robert Luis Stevenson's Treasure Island. Would our culture still say to pursue it? He's the vi...

In a Hole, Under the Hill . . . There lived a girl who thought. Monday, April 20, 2015. Screwtape Letters . Sheegog Edition. In one of the classes I teach, my students read The Screwtape Letters. And, as an assignment, had to write a letter from Screwtape to Wormwood as if they were "the patient." And it struck me, why don't I do the same? So, my faithful readers, here is my first complete story in a while. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did. My dear Wormwood,. Your affectionate uncle, Screwtape. Real ...

In a Hole, Under the Hill . . . There lived a girl who thought. Monday, July 7, 2014. Musings on the Church and Its Branches. I do not know how to solve the differences; I am no better than a whistle blowing as a house is burning. But I believe it is better to recognize where we are in the context of history than to ignore or dismiss it because the past may enlighten how to proceed for the future. Lord, have mercy on your church. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). View my complete profile. Records of the Hill.

In a Hole, Under the Hill . . . There lived a girl who thought. Tuesday, August 11, 2015. Why So Silent, Good Monsieurs? As the words of Phantom of the Opera. Beautifully state, I wanted to explain the lack of posts. Well, greater than usual lack of posts. Especially since I started off this year saying that I would post something every week, which I must admit I have not done very well. Here goes . . . I've let go of my dream of writing a book.

In a Hole, Under the Hill . . .: I Blinked and I Was Dead

http://inaholeunderthehill.blogspot.com/2015/05/i-blinked-and-i-was-dead.html

In a Hole, Under the Hill . . . There lived a girl who thought. Sunday, May 3, 2015. I Blinked and I Was Dead. Funny how much clearer you think when you're dead. But still, the whole dying thing was much faster than I'd thought it would be. In the movies, everything slows down, and the person's life passes before their eyes like a fast-forwarded film. Honestly, I was kinda looking forward to that part. Well, a part. I wonder what would have happened if I hadn't blinked. Would I still be dead? I do have s...

In a Hole, Under the Hill . . . There lived a girl who thought. Sunday, January 25, 2015. The walls now lie broken, battered and worn;. The banners lie lifeless, tattered and torn;. Defeat echoes loudly, tangibly felt. No hope left within it, courage has melt. So where is the glory, mighty to save? So where is protection, voice in the cave? So why are you silent, me left alone? So what will I do now, left overthrown? Come walk through the fire, refining though hot,. These glorious ruins no longer bound.

In a Hole, Under the Hill . . . There lived a girl who thought. Tuesday, May 5, 2015. Typewriter Monkeys and The San Francisco Writer's Grotto. Two posts in one week where there is not a sequel involved? I know, my readers, I know; it's shocking. But I learned a couple of things over the past few days that I think is rather relevant to this blog. First, I discovered a new blog, The Typewriter Monkey Task Force. Second, I bought a new book, 642 Things To Write About. Labels: 642 Things to Write About.

I am going to write sets of three haikus every day through September 30, starting today. My hope is that each day will have a different subject, but I don't know that I can necessarily guarantee that. Therefore, with my imaginary glass, I raise a toast to aventure. Paintings, drawings, prints,. For child or adult,.

In a Hole, Under the Hill . . . There lived a girl who thought. Sunday, May 17, 2015. Be Strong, My Child, and Fear No Nightly Noise. In honour of my good friend Sara's graduation, a wonderfully insightful and talented writer and blogger. I wrote the following sonnet. Can you find the allusions to George MacDonald and J.R.R. Tolkien? In the words of Bono, "Every artist is a cannibal / Every poet is a thief" and I only steal from the best. Be Strong, My Child, and Fear No Nightly Noise. Fairy tales are mo...
