Sometimes I?m Happy, Sometimes I?m Sad

Share This Post

I?m trying to figure out how I feel about the fact that I?m at work this morning, instead of still sleeping in my oh-so-comfy bed. It?s nice that it wasn?t an issue at all about getting here this morning, as traffic was almost non-existent, and it?s nice that everything?s so quiet at the moment.

But then again, I am at work. On a holiday. While BabyDaddy preps to take Elizabeth to Zoo Atlanta for the day. And while it?s quiet at the moment, I have far too many things to get completed today for the coming weekend?s tournament to be able to sit back and goof off. Bah.

Happy Memorial Day, everyone, and hug/kiss/acknowledge in some fashion your vets. Here?s a photo of Papaw, taken in 1943, probably in Kansas City. Papaw?s the one that?s taller, and I?m not exactly sure who John Henry Arnold is, but I adore just how young they both look. Papaw was just at 20 when this photo was taken, and it was before he got shipped off to the European Theater, where he ended up with a good chunk of shrapnel in his leg by the time he was done over there.

Seven robed figures seated in a row against a gold background, each with a golden halo and holding a symbolic object — flame, grain, a bowl, balance scales, open hands, a hammer, and a branch. The central figure has the head of an eagle. The illustration is rendered in Persian miniature style with a red floral border on cream.

By the Seven

A weekly door into the world of the Emari Chronicles. This one is about the Seven. All seven names, finally together, and what Emari has been building in the silence they left behind.

Persian miniature illustration of the Chinvat Bridge, an ancient stone bridge with star-carved railings ascending toward a radiant glowing archway, suspended over a luminous blue-white river in a night sky landscape of stylized mountains and gold-starred clouds, rendered in deep indigo, teal, and gold with an ornate decorative border.

The Bridge You Can Walk To

A weekly door into the world of the Emari Chronicles. This week it’s the bridge that souls cross to meet Rashnu, and what happens when two very much alive people walk into it anyway.
