yes, but who turned the peers into monsters?
the book: marine creatures only this time. the tortoise originally wrote a foreword, but i decided not to use it (there) because it wasn’t oceany enough.

Wow.

“When I think thoughts not my own, when experts tell me what to want and feel, and someone else’s desires steer me and my own die or hide, I am a monster.”

Yes. Only I don’t find it’s the advertisers and marketers so much as peer pressure: “This is what EVERYONE wants.” So there’s this assumption that I would want to drive a beemer and spend my vacation days in some spa. Yuuuuuucck. I would be a monster if I succumb to that.

Will there be tortoises and slugs in your book?

thanks, kelly. remember, i have a book coming out just in time for christmas. well, “coming out”, that’s maybe overstating it. or, maybe understating it, to be honest. it’s going to be hand bound, after all. that’s gotta be worth something. one will even have kitty paw-prints on the cover, how’s that for unique.

Wow Mig. How very beautiful your writing.I always feel strange commenting but compelled to do so. There is such thought and poignance. And the words linger provoking thought. Thank you.
