Exquisite Tastes

Wednesday, May 20, 2026

Good morning, Twfw. O/

Summer decided to visit Spring for a couple days yesterday. This morning is muggy, humid potential, an incubator for what's green.

Just a poet's morning journal to juxtapose the algorithmic AI Babylonian Cloud Beast so much of the Internet shows lately. A reminder our words, and so our lives, can be something more than Artificially Intelligent. Our lives can be Beautiful.

Thought we could all use a reminder: We are what we eat. Words and images are part of our diet. There's fine dining on Wonder Fell. You have exquisite tastes. Thanks for reading.

The site's changed its aesthetic over the years. The convention of blogposts to start off with a relevant pic of some sort I've replaced with the first page image of each handwritten journal entry.

Words are enough.

...

Did you ever wonder about poets and artists, what our lives are like and for?

There's something else here in every room with you. Some force that makes us want to create and share.

It's more than just the will to survive.

Did you ever look at a sunrise and think 'Wow, that's beautiful'?

Most of us have.

What's up with that?

Darwin and Einstein can't help make sense of that reality. We need artists and poets to answer that call.

O/

A certain sentiment like a certain sunrise swells in an artist. Perhaps it's an idea for a story, a memory of light for a painter, a melody like a robin's song for a musician. This dream fills the artist with hours of joy and reflection.

We all have daydreams like that.

The difference between an artist and a non-artist is in the generous desire to share the joyful dream.

Another verse of Colore posts soon.

The World Building phase is through.

I like weekly posts for the frequency. A throwback to the days before binge-able television shows. Once a week episodes for The Epic. Something to look forward to.

Fridays work.

New-New Hampshire is just about set to land on The Kindle Store. Depending on how stream-lined that process is and how quick finishing up Wonder Fell's clean-up goes decides whether Colore posts this Friday or next.

Business thoughts...

Writer, editor, publisher... just a guy who loves sharing his joyful dreams in hopes they're as much help to you as they've been to me.

Thanks for reading. Have a joyous dream, share it, call yourself an artist and have a wonderful day already.
