To an extent what you're calling for is true of most jobs (and our lives). Mediocrity is lulling and safe. You can cruise along as an entry level librarian and not really ever do much (not to get fired, not to get promoted -- I know a few) and be just fine. But there is no passion there. No lust. I believe the great writers have that and that, even if it's not always financially viable, will keep their work interesting and interested in the world.

This story, based on the picture post...Hi William,<br /><br />This story, based on the picture posted by Nick called "Resurfacing" is like a stream of conscience kick in the gut! You use words like musical sounds, but it's modern music like that of Elliot Carter or Penderecki or maybe more, Charles Ives. (Those would be my references, more than rock music.) This one was angry, and the poetry implies the narrator's hurt and pain. But well done. <br /><br />I hope you'll continue to post your own Elephant Words stories based on the weekly pictures!Rivka Jacobsnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-35502258.post-81695945170154546742009-11-20T05:36:56.172-05:002009-11-20T05:36:56.172-05:00Oh, nice!

My brother-in-law fears speeches that stir emotion and wants to hear the bullet points. He'll be voting for McCain while I too was tempted to be hopeful by Obama.
