Arts & Humanities - 15 April 2007

The stars shine so brightly
The moon luminescent glows
As I stare up at the sky
Wondering what secrets it knows

A firefly buzzes quickly on by
The first one I've seen this year
Then flits back over to me
And tells me what I want to hear

"I know a secret, my child
Would you like to know as well?
I very slowly nod my head and
Say, "Yes, please do tell"

She hovers right near my ear
She whispered her words so soft
"When you take a chance dear,
Nothing is ever truly lost.

For it's not the outcome
Of that risk, that is the final call
The true win or lose you face
Is whether you took the chance at all.

For what is life with no risk
No chance to win or fail
If there never is a battle
You never will prevail."

With that the firefly winked
And went along it's way
Leaving me with much to think about
About what she had to say

Is it best to go ahead
And just risk everything?
Is it better to never risk it all
And never truly start living?

For to love is just one big chance
You may win or lose
What you decide is up to you.
But I know what I choose.

I mean, honestly. No one knows what is going to happen in Book 7. I am waiting patiently and surviving.

The way I see it, when an author writes a story they have a reason for writing every sentence (at least in a good story). The author is writing to communicate a the meaning of the story to the audience.
So if people in the audience see something that the author did not intend, then they saw something that wasn't there. They would be leading themselves astray from the true story with their imagination.
I would like to get some other opinions on this though

I noticed that taxes aren't due until the 17th because Monday is Emancipation Day in D.C. (Ancillary question: How much is that costing us?) The slave trade was abolished in the District prior to the start of the Civil War but what about slavery itself? The Emancipation Proclamation freed slaves in areas of the Confederacy that fell to Union forces after the effective date of the Proclamation. Slavery continued in the border states and the liberated parts of the Confederacy. Hence my question?

Okay so I just finished the book Eragon (didn't see the movie). It was good, I hope Eldest is better... did anyone here read it? Cause I have one question... Angela tells Eragon in Teirm his fortune, and says that a family member will betray Eragon... Well, is that in Eragon or Eldest, cause I didn't see any family betryal in Eragon.

I've been writing a story off and on for a while now. I have about 20 pages. It still needs a lot of work, obviously as it's a work in progress, but I just would like some comments about it. (It's in PDF, so you'll need a PDF reader such as Adobe Acrobat Reader.) Here's the story link: http://www.geocities.com/catwulf/Kina2.pdf
