In Search of the First Tribe (Book) - 7/28/2009 2:56:16 AM
Richard,
I won't look at a yo-yo the same again. lol. These characters are growing spiritually every step of the way. I felt like there was a new, more natural, feel to the crew of the Heimdall. With the addition of new characters, a few surprises, and a creative and exciting ending, this book did not disappoint. Great work:) Love and hugs,
Sheila

The crew of the Heimdall are like a close-knit family. Along the exciting journey, the themes of love and respect are fortified with each day these characters spend together. A fascinating read that educates and entertains!

I was so enraptured by the characters and the story. The images in my mind as I read played out like a movie...hmmm, yes, I could see this picked up as a movie.

A very exciting, fast moving book. It carries you along on a wave of excitement. The characters are so real, I feel I know them and care deeply about what will confront them next.

A journey in search of what is not needed. We as humans need to focus on our priorities in life, not what we perceive to be the priorities. Once we define our true priorities first, then we can regain our focus.

Cool Ca-ca actually fell along these lines! HA!
"...as the withering of late autumn leaves, your DESICCATING HEART curls inward to worship self..." this line did it for me, my friend...the imagery and wisdom embeds in my soul like a branding iron!
I don't want to be a slave, but, dammit, I am...and therefore, white knuckled I'm branding my own templates for all to see, hear, taste, touch and yes, cool ca-ca...even smell! Someone has to make sense of it all!
Love and Peace~

Man, you have kicked ass with this one. I see so much behind the words that it scares the hell out of me. I used to say, well, I know what is happening, but I'm too old to fo anything and besides it'll never happen in my life time.
It is happening in my life time, Richard.
I also used to think about the German people who were force-fed half truths and out and out lies. why couldn't they have "gotten" it? How did they allow themselves to be so duped. I understand now. In our case the reason so many in this country are "duped," is because of the complete takeover of the public school system and elite colleges for the last forty years at least. The young minds full of mush have been molded and shaped and we have forty decades of almost illiterate genius' who are part and parcel one of the real reasons what is happening has been allowed to happen. The rest? We are demonized to such an extent when we try to ring the alarm many just give up and accept the inevitable. I am fond of saying Nero is fiddlin', but now he had the whole damn band with him and things are NOT looking good. Thank you for writing this.
knuckle down slave ... (Short Story) - 11/8/2009 12:20:52 PM
Sure hope i am not one of them. I pray my heart is truthful and TRULY following God, the one true God.
Well done Richard, and certainly gives us pause to look inside ourselves.
bless you,

Before my brother died, my other brother hadn't made peace with him and it's haunted him since. It's good that the two of you have sought it and hopefully found it.
the doctor suggested psychoanalysis ... (Short Story) - 10/1/2009 8:33:15 AM
This was to me a great write. At least I got out a good laugh;
it also reminds me how we get serious about the wrong things. We have to get to the funny side of it to see how ridiculous it is.
contrary souls ... (Short Story) - 10/1/2009 8:29:47 AM
You're writing forces me to look inside myself and wonder...am I guilty of this? I have to acknowledge it to move forward. Thanks, again Richard...it amazes me how you get to the heart of the matter.
therapy session ... (Short Story) - 10/1/2009 8:23:27 AM
Brilliantly said, Richard. I see pieces of both in my own life. The patient is not willing to look in the mirror...the doctor who has some attributes, but is more interested in getting paid. What a dichotomy!
the doctor suggested psychoanalysis ... (Short Story) - 8/12/2009 8:19:11 AM
Quite a bit of inventive fun here-isn't this the way those drug companies work-hilarious!

A funny one, Richard. This story shows the times we live in, too. People have always searched for answers, but now most think the answers come with a prescription. Great reading! Love and Hugs,

P.S. Enjoying MJ II thus far:)

What a joy to see two contrary souls re-united. You have crossed a wide chasm of misunderstandings and pain to become brothers again. A rewarding story, and one told in fascinating fashion.

To you, dear brother, is the honorable task of guarding the grail for all of us, to hold it as a priest when we, in rabid thirst, yearn to quench the dryness in our souls. We come to you for communion, for forgiveness, for a blessing.... In your words, my dear friend, we find heaven. Thank you.

Is your literary work being exploited? (Article) - 10/15/2009 1:10:01 AM
I had this happen to me years ago when I first decided to use the internet as an outlet. I know think of those bad choices as learning tools and am thankful I didn't get sucked in for more money than I did. I've since learned that if somebody wants me to write for them I ask, "how much do you pay?" If they tell me it's see my name in a by-line or for "exposure", I tell them I can expose myself for free and write my name of my naked body to tell the world who I am, why do I need you to do it for me?.
Writing is a job, and like any job that you're hired for, payment is due for the work completed.

The "My sister" quote, I believe. My mother-in-law died near Christmas one year and the family had her held-over until after New Years, so all could attend. By the way, my husband and I have had an article published in The Oregon Coast. We love the magazine. Linda
Too Many Sour Grapes (Article) - 8/6/2008 7:30:55 AM
Richard,
As you obviously know, all good writers are lifetime students. What is frustrating are the critics who set up their particular area of expertise and then can't get out of their own way when confronted with something new within that very discipline. At this juncture, blogging has a long way to go to be considered a discipline. Whether you or I will be around when and if that happens is debatable; the experts are still in the way. Dave R.
Is your literary work being exploited? (Article) - 8/6/2008 6:47:49 AM
Richard,
It makes no difference the type or the medium, from magazines to blogs, up the scale of book publishers, anyplace and everywhere, there are those who live to take the blood of the artisan for their own benefit. Most of us take a while to understand, finally, there are bottom feeders who prey on the author's deepest need, which is one of seeking people to read what he has written. Sad ain't it?

Is your literary work being exploited? (Article) - 5/16/2008 2:51:39 PM
Sorry to hear this, but I guess it comes with the Net. The only offer I got was from the Educational Testing Service and it was bona fide.
My first publisher, who believed in my work and literary potential, lost his substantial start-up funds, and went crazy trying to succeed legitimately. My friend, Angela Hoy of Writers Weekly.com. Goes after these crooks.

I have submitted poems to these type people and when the newness wore off I didn't anymore. Especially when I found out that since my poems had been published they could not be included in my own publication. What a bummer. Now days, it's a flat no and the flyer goes into the trash. You are right about it all being a rip, but I did garner some experience and met new people and learned what not to do any more. Great article. Liz
Is your literary work being exploited? (Article) - 5/15/2008 3:49:39 PM
I think what a poet agrees to depends a lot on whether they want to share their poetry or if they want money for it. I don't know of any present day poet whose gotten rich by writing poetry. It's something we do for the love of it and it's meant to be shared. I won't pay anyone a penny for mine but will allow some to be published in magazines in exchange for a copy. We pay to post our poems and other writings here at AD, so what's the dif?

Fortunately I've not "fallen" for the lines of the hustlers...not since procuring the deed to the Brooklyn Bridge :o) (really only kidding, unless someone is willing to buy LOL)
A much needed article you've written, Richard, and hopefully all new authors will be reading this!

Is your literary work being exploited? (Article) - 5/15/2008 8:16:40 AM
I have been now, and for a long time, telling my fellow authors that don't touch anybody with not a bundle of cash up in front. And that for get their book published, they should relay on Lulu.com
Since I introduce Lulu.com to AD many have gone that way and are satisfied, so satisfied are everybody that now AD and Lulu.com are an item of collaboration.
So hear what Richard here is saying, do you hear me?! ! !

Is your literary work being exploited? (Article) - 5/15/2008 7:55:14 AM
great capture of the elated emotion felt when such an offer mysteriously appears in the writers life...and the fall as the realization occurs it is more about them, than it is about you or your work...the bright side for me personally, is these offers are helping me further trust my intuition and inner guidance to what is a higher conscious way of living
Is your literary work being exploited? (Article) - 5/15/2008 6:22:08 AM
Richard, I love your wise words of wisdom. Your honesty of being so overjoyed to then only find...kerplunk......it's all a money maker for sure. I must say I've been most realistic in understanding just how hard it is to get your work noticed. Heck, it may be long after I'm gone from this world.......lololol! Try this....type your name in the google browser, you'll be surprised to see where your work is being put up. As long as they put the author's name to the work I'm ok with that. It sure opened my eyes to the virtual world. Good luck with your series of articles and photos being submitted to the Oregon Coast Magazine. I'd be interested to see the outcome. Again, loved the honesty!

Is your literary work being exploited? (Article) - 5/15/2008 3:57:19 AM
I have been wondering lately about the wisdom of having my work on the internet at all. I have found that anything I put on the web is considered published and will not be accepted in writing competitions. Also, I have googled myself and found some of my work on other people's websites without my permission.

I love this version much better as it is more poetic and seems more vibrant. I actually found it on the web and here it is again. Thanks for putting it out there.

Fantastic message, I have not heard this version, but I felt in tune with its entire teaching.

The Lord's Prayer (Article) - 4/8/2008 1:31:11 AM
That was when man was humble, when "created by His image" didn't went over the man's head and started when talking to God, not with a prayer but with a demand.
It is not time to reverse our ways and go back to The Lord's Prayer?

The church did a little spin-doctoring?
Recently, at a funeral for a great patriot (US Ambassador to Rwanda during the genocide) and former president of the university where I work, Howard Harris, our resident jazz impresario, teacher, and trumpet artist, played the Lord's Prayer on his trumpet. There were no words, but it was more moving without them.

I really enjoy this version. It's amazing how much was changed in translation(s). I will copy this one and save.

that point of no return ... (Poetry) - 12/4/2009 7:49:42 PM
We are the summation of what we admire in others and, therefore, adopt into ourselves. You have a quality of writing that brings about gut wrenching thoughts of what I could've done to be a better person. I'm always trying and God forgives me.
Your poetry is with me tonight.
Blessings and love,
Susan
Jacobs trouble + (Poetry) - 12/4/2009 6:41:48 PM
Sounds like a two-minute warning to me. Apathy turns the head and takes another step and somewhere is us with our fingers crossed behind our backs.
You are the best at getting to the crux of the matter in four syllables or more.
Wonderful poetry for the rebel in me.
Blessings and love,

And the beat goes on. This could have been written perhaps
in the time of Lincoln. And elsewhere. But, Richard, you
do it so well. -gene.
Jacobs trouble + (Poetry) - 12/4/2009 12:45:36 PM
Sir Richard, every time I read your work I am in awe. You take immeasurable concepts and with few words summarize the totality of our present human condition and the Bible's climactic warning of impending destruction. I stand in awe of our Mighty God through His gift to you, to us, through your willingness to be a servant and speak. Thank you, sir! Many Blessings!
Love, Lynnie
P.S. I'm in my last 2 weeks of school and moving the 19th. Will write soon!

You are of course 100% correct, but it's more fun to poke fun at failures because everybody has them. Patrick
Jacobs trouble + (Poetry) - 12/4/2009 10:32:25 AM
I fear that Jacob's trouble will be minuscule compared to the wholesale devastation wrought by foolhardy and mindless people. Still, there is method in their madness that people, at least some people, refuse to see and understand. The breaking down of traditional values and the collapse and takeover of the banks and manufacturing giants of the world means that people will then look to Big Brother, the government to come to their rescue, and therein lies the problem, a mindless majority of num-nutted people depending on the government for their livelihood. Nero will then put down his fiddle because his notes were sour and his misdirection is no longer needed, the world will be sent back to dark times.
Jacobs trouble + (Poetry) - 12/4/2009 10:26:24 AM
Ah Bennett ...
the idea of an Eagle gnawing
at the liver of a chained Prometheus,
until Hercules saves him, is an interesting
way to look at it.
There's types and shadows in that!

Jacobs trouble + (Poetry) - 12/4/2009 9:45:19 AM
A terrible darkness, I agree, seems to be unfolding, but not exactly for the same reasons you're suggesting, but only some of them. Inherent, perhaps, in the sucesses of civilazation itself are the seed of its own distruction. Initially, the myth of Prometheus might best describe this.
Jacobs trouble + (Poetry) - 12/4/2009 8:51:22 AM
You have essentially summed up the entire ideology of globalization. Destruction of everything and anything, which serves as a cohesive unit. Breaking up of the family, distortion of religion, erasing of national borders and destruction of sovereignty, destruction of local economies, eviceration of the tribal instinct. Frightening times we live in. Very well-penned, as always, and a warning not to be taken lightly.

that point of no return ... (Poetry) - 12/3/2009 5:02:19 PM
As we were wont to say during the turbulent sixties, that's heavy, brother. I maintain that our upbringing does, in fact, give us the seed that is planted in us and we grow from that seed, garnering much of the "home-soil" into our makeup. Many, in my case in particular, are other important influences which overshadowed my upbringing for a while, but I admit, the seeds planted so long ago are still alive and working in me. You are right on also about the hate we feel for other insofar as usually, not always, but usually, we are hating our own inadequacies and fears. Enjoyed this.
that point of no return ... (Poetry) - 12/3/2009 4:57:25 PM
