Life is a journey, so they say. So, if you had to drop everything in order to continue but one thing, what would that be? What would be in your baggage? Or what would you think should be in the baggage? And why?

This was given to me by a man from Scotland many years ago. I don't know if Rab Staak (?) is the artist or the person on the disk. The date after the name appears to be 1892.

Does anyone know of a website where I can get poetry copyrighted that is not poetry.com. That site sucks. I'd really appreciate any help. Thanks!

It would probably better if it was written in the 19th century, but I'll take modern stuff that's set during that time period as well, as long as it's well-researched.

The obvious answers would be anything by Jane Austen, the Bronte sisters, or Charles Dickens, etc, but I'm looking for something a little less common.

For those who are knowledgeable and up-to-date about writing for children: I have been working on a middle grade novel for about 12 years. Instinctively, I wrote the first draft in narrator's POV, but other writers in a group told me this was author intrusion and advised changing it to the viewpoint of the main character. However, I have seven main characters; it doesn't work to highlight one. At a writers' conference, I asked an author who writes books with large casts. She said to do it in omniscient. I did, and got an agent to try to sell my ms. After 2 years with no publishers' interest, she dropped it. I have rewritten the ms and am trying again. But I just read an article from 1998 first published in The Writer that says multiple character viewpoints must be introduced by a narrator. This is the first I have heard this. I have read other children's novels with omniscient POV. Is this a new trend, or is it that beginning readers can not follow the story sufficiently?

I've studied philosophy intensely from Plato to Heidegger, from Lao Tzo to Karl Marx but i consider these 3 to be among the 20th centuries greatest philosophers yet they aren't recognized as such. Why not?

We all know we're going to die but its only when the moment appraoches that we truly begin to appreciate life. Maybe if we held the fragility and beauty of living closer then there'd be less hurt and more kindness in the world.
In fact why dont we encourage kids to visit old folks homes so they can be given greater appreciation of their life and youth?
What are your views on this?

I am writing my MP on Beckett's drama Endgame, and I am very curious what is his/ its reception today.
Have you seen any of his plays? Have you directed or acted in any of his dramas (be that professional, experimental, or school play)?
What was the most difficult thing about it? What did you like the most? How did people receive it?
What is your approech to his work?
Thank you!

I'm a dancer. A few years ago, I quit and now I want to start up again. I am SO stiff and so not flexible. I just can't seem to get my body to twist the way it used to. Any tips or helps?

I did mostly ballet/jazz

Do you like reading Beckett? Do you have problems with understanding and interpreting his work (mainly the plays, but fiction is ok too)? What is the most problematic thing about it or why do you like it? Have you seen any of his dramas performed?
Thank you!
