Adventure Fiction Kids

In the right place at the right time or the wrong place at the wrong time. Depends on how you look at it. Knowing it when you see it or thinking it when you guess it. How do you know when someone is the enemy or a friend?


The difference between fire and friendly fire. The hairball that causes a cough or a the hairball that causes joy?


Circumstances bring you together and once you are here or there, what happens next could be good and it could be bad. What is the glue that sticks it? The landing. The bond that binds it. And. How will you know it when you see or know it when you don’t see it.


Danger arises and you flee back into your cave of defeat, escape and retreat (kc). Vow, no no way, never again. To a situation, a circumstance, a style of life. Tightly wrap your self into a warped self-web of doubt and constant self- interrogation. Vicious cycle kind of interrogation. Alone. In the dark, dark cave of loneliness and isolation.


Why?

Because it feels familiar. Comfortable almost. Convincing yourself that belonging is for others and you are destined for “Lonerville”.

In Lonerville, you are the Governor, the Mayor, the law enforcement, the DMV, the school board President, the boss of me and the boss of you. You are in control. Of everyone, everything and all decisions.


There is no such thing as reaching out. People who want to move in either go through you, or they do not go at all. The only bright spot in Lonerville is the non descript worship center.


All are welcome. All are invited. All are allowed to participate through a series of tests to see how they will contribute to the greater good or the greater bad of Lonerville. IE: Through the police station or through the community service. The tests are not for the “blow hards”, the weak or the fib-line stories, the tall stories, the non-sensical.


Camradry is a founding principle.


How you got here becomes of little consequence. How you maintain the growth is of big consequence. Teachable moments occur every minute of every day. In the Worship Center.Moments to take out and build upon in the land of Lonerville.


Recognizing choice is a first step. Some might even say the first step. Still some may think the only step. Depends on how you look at it.



Kudos to those that believe in choice. Learning opportunities abound in the Worship Center. Once able to exit the cave of self-imposed isolation. This is the first building to visit. Stay awhile. Quite awhile if one so chooses and turn bad into good.


There is a story told in the Lonerville worship center. Once worth considering. Understanding it is a very good step and understanding your freedom of choice. To live within the walls of Lonerville, or step out of self doubt and explore what Lonerville has to offer.


Wouldn’t a new name be a lovely thing.

A name change just for the sake of change?

May be.

May be not.



What to do when confronted with more than two worship ways, styles? Some are “born into it”, some reject it and some follow it through and through.


When the choice is yours, would you choose. Both. Neither.


Would you choose: A nine-tailed fox who cultivates to become a fairy?😳 A nine-tailed fox? Do those even exist? Would you choose to practice this style of worship.


Or


Would you choose: Bird ruffled feathers, cultivated to become a king, guarded the demon realm.😳This style of worship.


Conceptually, this can be quite confusing.

Expanding horizons is a vast concept.

Expanding one’s horizons in the spirit of harmony and peace is not always an easy thing.


Fortitude and fortunate are not two sides of the same coin.

Bit or otherwise.


There are many ways to worship, wholly, freely and completely. Which do you, or do you not choose and why? Sometimes it can be a lonely place when you pray. And sometimes it is not.🙂


When Lonerville was founded, the founding citizens were required to fight for the land, encountered many dangers, raging diseases that made many people sick and dead. The villagers prayed to the gods to help them overcome the difficulties that surrounded them. (wk)


This particular challenge was great and overwhelming. As with many challenges in life. Great. Overwhelming. While protecting the land they had learned to call their own, something happened that could be explained as unexplainable.


One night, the villagers saw a nine-tailed fox emerge from the cave and a feathered bird flew back from the mountain and transformed into two beautiful women. The two women eliminated wild animals and cured the people of the village. After that, no one saw the two women again. Since then the village has been peaceful. The villagers of Lonerville came to believe that the heavenly maiden came down to help, so they set up a temple to villagers.


Where in the world did this occur? Did it occur here on earth? Or in the minds of the villagers so intent with intensity to protect what was theirs, what they felt they were owed once had or had not owned.


The question of the day.

The question of many days.

To. Come.

Or.Not to Come.


The spirit.

Indefinable.

Indescribable.

Duplicated.

Reduplicated.

Content oriented.

Syllabically oriented.

Lineally oriented.


Counting: The count and the character.


For example: Language-ally speaking: Whereas in English verse syllables are categorized by relative stress, and in classical Greek and LTin. Else they are characterized by length, in Vietnamese verse syllables are characterized by tone.(wk)


Flat.

Or.

Sharp.

Rhymed.

Not.

Primed.


As an influence or an influencer.

Traditionally: One word=one character=one syllable.


Poetic license applied.


Fortuitous=Advantage

Fortitude=Courage

Fortunate=Lucky

Fortune=Extreme


Character Counts

Worship at the center of this kinda a-count-ing

You betcha.

Fortune cookies are the lack of ability to delay gratification.Girl Scout, Pin wheel or Milano. Makes very little difference.

🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪🍪

What say you?

Chips a hoy, Oreo double stuff, Sugar,


No worries. The fox got a hold of ‘em all, and is enjoying the pleasure of their company.
