Lost in the Literary Labyrinth - Seeking Compassionate Comrades

Dear Witty Wordsmiths and Literary Lumineers,

Greetings from the abyss of my literary confusion! As I sit here, surrounded by the remnants of my deciphering of

the latest mushroom manifesto, I find myself in a state of profound bewilderment. Alas, I must confess that I missed our last gathering where, rumor has it, fungi took center stage in our cerebral circus.

As I reflect on the pages of the elusive mushroom tome, I am struck with the realization that I am now adrift in a sea of unread books, desperately in need of a literary lifeboat. It appears that my compass is malfunctioning, and I've been left to navigate the treacherous waters of the unknown without a single clue. A tragic tale, indeed!

Now, my dear Bookish Bohemians, I implore your benevolent souls to extend a literary lifeline. What are we reading next? I fear I've become the unwitting protagonist in my very own novel of confusion, and I'm in dire need of a plot twist to set me back on course.

In conclusion, my erudite companions, I beseech you – shed light on the current literary journey our esteemed book club is undertaking. Illuminate the path for this lost soul wandering in the shadow of unread pages. I await your guidance with bated breath and a well-thumbed thesaurus.

(i.e. what are we reading now? )

Yours in bookish befuddlement,

    Such a wonderful word, befuddlement! In fact there are many wonderful words in this post. Our next book is "Go As A River", and Wayne may have an extra copy. Thanks for the long and winding question, which was well summarized in the last parenthetical line.

    Thanks for this. Yes, so many books, so little time.

Dear Diary

By
 I'm reading Brian Eno's diary, which is just a day by day journal of one year in his life. In it somewhere he lists his idea of some of the things he is, in the form of I am... and then each of the things he considers himself to be are either a or an.  So "I am creative" wouldn't work, but "I am a music producer" would.  I quickly closed the book before I read his list and began writing my own, which I may or may not share here.  But I wanted you guys to think about creating your own list and think about sharing it here.  Maybe I'm an optimist to think you might be interested in doing so, but really it might be fun. There might even be some overlap! And don't worry, it seems only two other people would be reading your list.

River of Gone Words

 Another trek to the river of Gone Words Another sack of snap-backs One more time of packing it down To throw in and be forgot Another bunch of words not said Another expression stillborn on my tongue One more bouquet of complaints Tossed into the River of Gone Words Another wish sent to drown Another desire to let go One more urn of the unspoken Sacrificed to River of Gone Words This is safer ​ This is best These are better left unexpressed

Joy of life and math?

By
Dabbling in joy fever curious I am so forever young but just now plotting my lifeline x-axis anticipating the positive intercept knowing pain will sometimes overlap the y-axis of joy and wonder. the x-axis is fixed, the y-axis is not, forever sits at said intercept on the x-line the plot a mountain silhouette stretched along the flat x-plane, peaks were the second derivative is zero and none is the number to come.
