    The Tale

    Parker Owens commented on northie's story chapter in The Tale

    I’m still enjoying giving all that math an airing. Thank you for writing this!

    The Fibonacci sequence is just one of an infinite variety of recursively defined patterns. It’s just a coincidence that I’m covering them in classes right now. Maybe. You’re kind to read these, and I’m glad you did.

    I’m happy for Mason and Jeremy. Perhaps they can be strong and good for each other. As for Clay and the cliffhanger, I have doubled my heart medication and will require sedation until the next installment. Well done.

    @dughlas is right in that there are many fantastic places Fibonacci sequences can lead.

    I’m enjoying this segment very much. And @Thorn Wilde can take heart that I didn’t guess correctly at all...

    The Fibbonacci spiral is a marvelous image. There are all kinds of different spirals, and these can depend on the starting point - the size of the original tiny quantity, as you have suggested. I'm so glad the intention of the second poem shone through - together, we can raise each of us to be whole. You were so kind to read these, and to offer such wonderful thoughts in response. Thank you!

    I'm so very sorry you are hurting. I hope these didn't make your headache worse. At least you have a favorite - I confess that I like that one very much, too. Thanks so much for reading, and for your response.

    Asymptotes: lines on a graph indicating an eventual discontinuity. That is, the curve will get infinitely close to the asymptote, yet it will never touch it. In order for the curve or graph ti continue, it must break at the asymptote and restart on the other side. It's good to know that the meanings of these are clear, even if the mathematical metaphors are obscure. Thanks very much for reading!

    I am happy these make themselves heard, even if the math doesn't speak to you well. Thank you for your most encouraging words.

    You're much too nice to me. I can't help seeing things through math vocabulary. I'm glad that the meanings of these aren't as obscure as the concepts used as metaphors. Thanks so very much for reading!

    Your smile makes me smile, too. Thank you. xo

    It’s nice to see someone like Nalbo get nailed. Once exposed, who would want to do business with him? And Abramov is right: Chipper and his friends are indeed extraordinary.

    How is it that as differentials amongst us shrink to almost nothing, these tiny distances create yawning chasms, eternal and discontinuous, asymptotes which prevent convergence? Some teachers see inequalities as greater than or less than symbols, dry observations which require no reaction; but I believe we must raise ourselves to powers which make our numbers whole. I can’t solve life’s complex equations with multipl

    Simon has made an honest friend in Freddie. He appears to be open in talking through stuff that’s had Simon stumped for days. Perhaps Simon has found someone who might care enough to help him become more of who he is, unlike the infamous Max. I enjoyed this chapter.

    You take us for a roller coaster ride! Up, up we climb to the top, exhilarated by the music and the audience, and then, down, down, as Chipper deals with the ugly blackmail confronting him. At least he’s fortunate that he has solid friends he can count on. Not every aspiring entertainer is so fortunate. Great chapter.

    Visions

    Parker Owens commented on Mikiesboy's story chapter in Visions

    I’m filled with autumn by this poem. I hear your voice in the images you evoke: the flocking starlings and blackbirds, and the whirls of bright parted leaves. I feel autumnal melancholy in each line. And I, too, offer my best hugs against the approaching winter.

    Orson

    Parker Owens commented on Wayne Gray's story chapter in Orson

    Thanks for working so hard to make this chapter informative and interesting, without being didactic.

    Live Show

    Parker Owens commented on Carlos Hazday's story chapter in Live Show

    Just show me where to vote. Chipper has mine. Thanks for another great chapter!

    Simon took a brave step, and landed amongst people who might be friends. That is a wonderful thing to see.
  20. Parker Owens
    This looks awesome. And the name wins with me...

    Someone to Miss

    Parker Owens commented on Wayne Gray's story chapter in Someone to Miss

    This is a beautiful chapter. You show each one finding a vacant spot on his heart, and while there is sadness in these absences, there is warmth and love radiating from the places they left behind.

    Story

    Parker Owens commented on Renee Stevens's story chapter in Story

    Family is made from beautiful traditions like these. Your story is lovely. Thank you for it.
  23. Parker Owens
    I’m very glad these interested you. You’re right, there’s a lot going on in these, and I can only hope that wasn’t too distracting. Thanks so much for reading, and for your responses.
  24. Parker Owens
    You are immensely kind in reading these, and in your response. Ignorance is not bliss, as you so artfully point out. Thank you for your words, too.
  25. Parker Owens
    And hugs back, squared. Thanks for reading these.
