The Cave of Portents: Musings about Science and Philosophy

I wrote a short fictional piece back in 1999, called "The Cave of Portents" with the intention of including it in my book:



The Pursuit of Destiny: A History of Prediction



It ended up not making into my book, but I thought I would share it for the very first time.



Here is a link to the story:

Art to go with me.
I now know how it should look.
Ink will make it live.

I could not stop now
Even if I wanted to.
In it to the end.

Clouds settle to earth,
Weight of the sky laid to rest.
Nighttime fog rolls in.

Like children, cannot be owned
But only sent on.

Being filled this way
Was never my decision.
Sometimes light happens.

Fear and pain will fade
As memory buries them.
True love shines brighter.

She made the whole song,
Words, music and performance,

Summer Magic

The roaring sounds of the music of marching bands waft through the air on the warm summer morning. Billowy white clouds glide across the magnificent blue sky. Cars begin lining up, as the children inside clamor over each other in eager anticipation of the fun that awaits them. They pile out of cars, backpacks in tow with smiles from ear to ear. The smell…

Something is coming
But I don't know what or when,
Only that it's good.

This angry woman in me.
Seeking my peace now.

Safety

Thought I would share some safety tips sent to me by my step-mother.

1) Tip from Tae Kwon Do: The elbow is the strongest point on your body. If you are close enough to use it, DO.

The one I am becoming.
She's very pretty.
