Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.

Top of it! O/ The morning, that is.

A formal hello from your informal, very ironically, personable Ghos+.

Tux or evening gown, pajamas or hoodie, oh goodie another sunrise.

Here we go.

On with our show...

...

Pastel powder slow fade lightshow sky this morning.

Spring passes the sunlight to Summer. Another hot day on the way.

Traffic whooshes and wahoos its way to work on the Interstate.

Hope your commute, wherever you're going, is a good one.

Maybe you picked a new playlist, or went with the regular reliable one, or live radio surprises with just the right songs to grace the speakers in your car.

A robin atop the chain link fence surveys the yard, swoops! a smile face pattern to the taller fence across the grass.

One of these days you'll get it right.

That dream you've been meaning to do will start to show steps to accomplish it.

Perhaps that's today.

It does help to visualize its success first.

We should always begin with the end in mind.

If there's no destination to enter into the GPS, directions don't matter.

Paths are places for arbitrary footsteps if you're going nowhere.

Slow to pick a destination this morning; sometimes the day just works. There's nothing to stand out, not much to say.

...

I used a semicolon in the above paragraph; I thought of a writer's reluctance.

In terms of literature, the semicolon is a private moment shared, an inside joke or confidence.

You and I know the two concepts make a distinction. There's a definite sub-textual importance shared in the ideas.

A semicolon treats a sentence like a word.

There's a relationship between the two that makes a new definition.

It's a great literary tool, and a shame so many writers shun it.

There's an earned intimacy with your reader necessary to make it work.

The two images each sentence brings to the work go together in an important and distinct way to serve the work.

The contrast is the most important message, not each singular clause, the relationship between the two.

What went before coincides with what follows.

A semicolon is a second sentence that learned from the first.

It's the work learning from the past to better define itself.

"Oh, the memory of that caused you to do that? Oh, that thought or experience led to this one? Oh, I get you. I see why you made those connections."
- Well Earned and Trusting Reader

The expression of the 'why of the connections' is what a semicolon expresses.

It's a single idea; it's one clause.

Take care, watch your grammar, punctuate conservatively with flair and make wonderful (with or without an Oxford comma) your wonderful day.

Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.

Steady on Poet.
Steady on Ghos+.
The words don't write themselves.

Hello, again. O/

Glad you're here.
The coast is clear.
+he Ghos+ is here.
So glad you're here.

Hope all's well.
I know it is somehow.
Hope you're brave enough to see it.
I know you are somehow.

So... here we go.
On with our show...

...

Did you miss out?

Were you busy doing something good for someone else and missed out on something good for you?

Maybe illness got in the way, had to put your dreams on hold?

Stop playing catch up.

You get to work on those dreams now, so get to work on those dreams now.

Don't rush, don't rest, do your best.

Like humble me. O/

Sun's up; sky thinks it's white.

Blue starts a soft reminder.

What's up with you? Anything new?

I'm sure there is. Take a look and see.

...

Theme for today? Prismatic static, what's in the way. Get in tune. Find your harmonies. Shine your color clear. The rule is clarity. Be clear. Be quiet. Be calm so you can project your best image on the world and live to see it real.

Uplifting words today.

Hope your day meets your expectations.

Hope you expect miracles.

A little more than warm day to follow the cool morning to signal Summer soon.

Hope my words find you well preparing for a positive season change.

I went from coffee to tea the past few days. The change is remarkable.

Still the lift, still the boost. But Tea is a kind friend's encouragement, not a Drill Sergeant called Coffee.

Maybe you'll give it a try. You'd be surprised how much more you get done.

How the quality of your work increases when you walk it don't run it.

Not to mention the time saved not having to go back and clean up after the rushed job.

Coffee has its place, still. Just not All. The. Time.

I write these every morning. I don't edit other then when I transfer them online.

A word or two, a misspelling, some shifts of paragraphs for graphical aesthetic upgrades.

I take my time. I feel the sentence. I go with the flow.

It's easy to do when you do it for sometime everyday.

A few decades of days makes editing only a matter of rearrangement.

Though, I never edited much my whole writing life. I trust my voice, my perceptions, so I take my time. Care and individualized attention is in every sentence. It's not a slow process, not a fast process; it is The Process.

Vanity? No.

Trusting the record of the moment based on the feeling you have while writing it down.

The words match the sense image; the work is done.

Writing well isn't hard; it feels right.
A forced write is a forced read.

A rushed write lacks depth of moments; there's not enough time stored in each word.

"Zip! Zap! Zoom! What did I read? Well I'm done. Where's my coffee? Go!?"
- Rushing Writer/Rushing Reader

If you want to sit and read and remember the peace and emotions words can bring, recall the wonder recognizing another's dream that reading can bring, be reminded of the power of quiet moments to change your thinking, have the opportunity to see new dreams to add to your dreams to raise the quality of your life; you're in the right place.

Because I feel that way as I write. And I'm as honest as I can be.

What would be the point if I weren't?

The only thing worse than lying is lying to yourself.

It's my life, they're my words, tell 'em true as you can Ghos+, or go do something else.
- Ghos+ Talking to Himself

Thank you for your time spent sharing my dreams of each morning, take care and make wonderful your wonderful day.
