Snow on mountains;

Pretty sight;

Winter is coming.


(it's true too  )

That's really nice.

[Shin]

Truly it is. The little haiku rings, like a little flash of light on the snowy mountaintop.

Great prose as usual, Shin.

Uh.. You're so kind Brigid..  Truly kind. if I start spouting poetry do me and everyone a favor and put a stop to it immediately. It's bad enough what I do with prose.

We need a shaking head smilie.

[martin]

Shin that was good.

If we keep going we may be able to give up our day jobs. 

[Shin]

I suppose it would be a good way to be shunned by all mankind and enter into a life of holy poverty Martin.

I am still gathering more smilies..

Though if we had a shaking head smilie Brigid.. would you be able to catch him? So many of them have gone under cover.

Spoken like a true Irishman.

Hahaha..  

I wonder would it be an acceptable reason for joining the religios life that no where else would have me.

Umph, if I wrote that in my submission letter I wonder how far I would get!

They might start practicing the old discipline of leaving a person begging outside the gates for ages! 

One can always run off to live in the desert as a hermit I suppose still. Until you're arrested for trespassing on public land.

I think my phobia of vultures would be the ultimate deterant for the desert life. 

I'm not best friends with crows either but at least they're small enough to at least tolerate.   

Did you know that a gathering of crows is called a Murder? That's enough for me.

Yes, I know! A murder! Reminds me how my poor grandmother had a bit of a phobia about birds ever after watching that Hitchcock movie, 'the Birds'.

They used to get into my garbage upstate, tear apart the bags with their beaks, so I had to be more careful putting it out. If you offend them, they're pretty intelligent, so they can go after you for awhile after that I hear.

Isn't there a story about St. Benedict and a crow? Or was it a raven?

Was it a good story or a bad one?

I read too that St Thomas Aquinas had a phobia of thunder. He used to hide under his bed in thunder storm.

[Brigid]

Was it a good story or a bad one?

I've heard both - one that had a crow/raven save his life and also one in which St. Benedict crossed himself whenever he saw one saying that they were demons.
