Blog Manifesto

Blog Manifesto


This blog is dedicated, as the title would suggest, to the qualities of being young. We are young writers. We are playful and sensitive, fluid and changing. We are unashamed with our art. We wonder at the world, puzzle over the meanings of things and twirl in delight at images and ideas that float by, grabbing at them as they pass. We are curious and constantly inquiring and prying concepts open and taking assumptions apart. We are on the ground, close to the earth. We have bare feet and wiggle our toes into nature. We carry our blankies still and wrap up cozy and comfy with each other and tell ghost stories and shiver at creepy things. We laugh and we cry and we take a lot of naps, drained from our outings and exertions.

We write as gifts to each other, tying them up in ribbon and leaving them around for each other to find, hiding and waiting for the person to wake up and read. Surprise! We weave our stories together to create a bond. One writes, then the other. then another again. We have a shared reality that we have crafted, bit by piece by patch, by string. We write simple, honest authentic things, with our unique voices. You can tell each one of us from the other, without knowing who wrote what. Our voices are clear and gentle and original. We whisper and our personalities roar! Like children, our feelings are strong, our passion for what we write shakes us. We are moved and sometimes left breathless, by our own words or the words of each other. We cannonball into each others spaces. We fall backward into each others writing, like into a pile of leaves or a soft bed. We gobble and grin and ask for more. (footnote kudos to JC)

Then we go to bed, wake up to a new day and do it all over again!

Mrs. B


Commercials commercials commercials…
If you want to know more, log onto http://www.---.com/

I don’t have a computer…how am I suppose to log on???
I have no idea on how to use a computer and probably am too old to learn.

Yet another commercial comes on……..log on to http://www.+++.com/

That’s it! Time to invest in a computer. It can’t be that hard to learn. Ha!!!
My future son-in-law helped me pick one out. We chose Gateway and it was delivered right to the back door in a black and white box that looked like a cow. I kept it in the box for a couple of days until help would arrive and it could be set up.

What does it mean by username? log in name? password?

Time to further my education:

I’m off to college. WooHoo…College for me!!! MATC! Oh wow!!! I feel special…My first and only class is “Beginners Computer Course”… I eventually bought the Computer Book For Dummies! Really sets a persons mind backwards…off to college and buying a book for dummies! To my surprise, the book was very useful.

A tall, broad shouldered, light skinned female with long blonde wavy hair walked through the door and introduced herself as Mrs. B.

The course was a very short course. I received an A and Mrs. B encouraged me to further my education in computers.

Which I did…

My next class was "Introduction to the Internet"...

I am now voicing with people all over the world...and all because of commercials commercials commercials...my computer...Mrs B...and the internet...
