I love how this reads like a poem, Rosemary. As a poet you can't help it! And it reflects such a simple yet full life, zeroing in on the details.
ReplyDeleteThanks, Colleen. I'm very glad it reads that way to you because I could help it and was trying very hard to make it into something that could be called a poem.
DeleteRemoval of pain is a good thing. Welcome to Thursday Thirteen, although your name seems familiar to me. Maybe you've played before?
ReplyDeleteYes, I have played a coupe of times since discovering it recently. I don't always remember to.
Delete*couple of times
DeleteIs there anything better than the cessation of pain? Probably, but it feels so good when it happens. How did you like Manifest? I finished that up last week, and I have thoughts...
ReplyDeleteI found Manifest very exciting, a cross between speculative and thriller, and the characters fully engaged me. It was a bit Biblical for me, but not in a narrow way, and I know that was true to the American context and a good plot device too. I also thought it was a palatable way of making a devastating critique of the fearsome, hidden power of governments, including those we think fair and benevolent.
DeleteFurther thoughts: I loved the way the characters were drawn in depth. Even the ones we deplored, we were shown how they got that way and/or how they believed they were doing good.
