Here it is. My first blog. I launch myself out into the world at the age of 52. I've been meaning to launch myself since I wrote my first poem as a child. However, I was horribly shy and didn't think that anything I had to say would be noteworthy.
Now, I've got so many thoughts in my head, and I've had so many interesting conversations with so many people, it's time to make them tangible, readable - somehow permanent and not just the meanderings of a middle aged mind.
I intend to post on this blog, many of the things I find interesting, intrigueing and of value. I want to discuss history, some philosophy, mostly religion, a touch of physics - and fairy tales. Yes! You read right - fairy tales, from the word Fae, or otherworldly, not of this world. Did you know that the Spanish word for "Faith" is "Fe?" And Spanish and French are the modern languages closest to Latin. Remember the Marine Motto, "Semper Fi?" It means 'always faithful.' Fi, from the Latin fidelus, to fe in Spanish, to foi in French to fae in English, or faith. I just find that interesting.
So, my next blog: The Sacred Stories of Western Civilization: Fairy Tales.

ReplyDeleteTherefore, with courage and abandonment, she sallied forth into the world of proses, fearing nothing, save the cat under her bed. A middle-aged mind sharp as a tack, fingers flying across the keyboard, crossing the references and finding the folly, scoffing at the insidious idea that nothing is related, and giving freely of her knowledge to the students at her feet who had come by hoof and foot, by sail and internet, to learn of timeless tells, forgotten words, and icon phrases with meanings ever hidden.
