    Oh, hell, you had me all worried at the end of the hall last chapter. What a wonderful thing to happen to Ryan, and he surely deserves it. But is just one piece of what you aptly describe as many things coming together. You describe the overwhelming elation and disbelief really well. And Clayton's mentioning his wealth is a big step for him, too.

    I know I fell way behind, and I'm sorry. But wow, what a chapter, full of things coming together, and great celebrations, and lots of feel good stuff...specially liked the conversation about money. And then the letter at the end of the chapter. A chill descends. You're very lucky I am behind and can satisfy my curiosity right now!

    Thanks, AC. You meant 'smarter than..,' I think, but which I do not for a moment believe. Not a question of smart or dull, but of the vocabulary one hangs around with, I think. I would have a devil of a time writing something about the Dewey Decimal System, or fly fishing. Thanks for responding to these, though...

    You are giving me plenty of ideas! Oh, my, showing them off to students! Something like singing the second law of thermodynamics song? Avogadro has such an irresistibly rhythmic name, I think. Glad you liked these.

    Yes, well, it is a little racy, isn't it? But It's nice to think that the staid language of math can be used to describe somewhat warmer feelings, too. Thanks so much for your review, and I may very happy you liked this.

    Well, it was kind of racy, in its geeky way. I guess it's just the way math geeks fantasize. I am glad you liked these. And now Adi (see above) is giving me more ideas.
  7. Parker Owens
    Thank you, Val. Math geeks have hearts, too, though it sometimes seems hidden beneath all that vocabulary. But the words have such rhythm...

    Geometric Construction I have construction on my mind, the T-square and a pencil kind; I want a man who has that skill - he's proven rather hard to find. I wish that he would, with his quill use perpendiculars to thrill a point of intersection drawn upon my plane, beneath my hill. He'll circumscribe me in the dawn, my neck, he'll leave his marks thereon, and he my angle would bisect, though that conclusion be foregone. In parallel we'll lie, subject to Euclid's laws, none else respect;

    The penguin is an author rare, whose thoughts get underneath our hair, and stick quite stubbornly, because her writing always draws applause. Congratulations, Val!

    Chapter 22

    Parker Owens commented on LitLover's story chapter in Chapter 22

    Excellent chapter! Great to get more observers, and the restaurant scene was especially satisfying. Corey and Jason make each other happy, and pair well; you have written it engagingly. Thank you.

    Chapter 10

    Parker Owens commented on Geron Kees's story chapter in Chapter 10

    I have enjoyed this story immensely. I thank you for posting it; it has a wonderful, almost mystical quality. The way Jeff and Brian manage to connect and sustain their relationship is unforgettable. And your final lines are priceless.

    Oh, this is fantastic! tim's poetic voice deserves a wide and wider audience; his honest and thought-provoking pieces inspire and bring the reader right into the moment. There is no way to be numb to tim's work, I have never failed to catch the intensity of feeling that drew me to poetry in reading his poems.

    This is way better than watching northern lights. Beautiful, happy, loving, joyous, fulfilling, intimate...thank you for letting us see all their colors, all their love on display. Lux is right...you spoiled us; but maybe Tobyn and Kellar will be able to spoil each other for a little bit, too.
  14. Parker Owens
    Like the overall theme of overcoming adversity and maintaining hope. You convey that really well. This is an encouraging pair of lyric verses for those who read them!

    Morning After

    Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Morning After

    Glad you liked this one, too. Rhubarb wine! Possibly the intellect served it at the request of the soul...it probably packs a wallop! But I get it goes down so smooooothly. Thanks so much for responding and reflecting on this one.

    Morning After

    Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Morning After

    I am glad you liked this one Gary. So often, writing a poem feels like three parts of oneself sitting down and conversing (just shooting the breeze) about subject. But the soul often speaks in the deepest, most memorable registry doesn't it? Thank you so much for your generous words...cheers in return...

    Morning After

    Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Morning After

    Thanks for seeing so deeply into this set of haiku pearls. I cannot attempt theology, but I tried to explain what happens when a subject or phrase comes to mind. Better than tryingm to make it into a three dimensional mathematics problem...I really appreciate your comments!

    Morning After

    Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Morning After

    The company and the combination are heady; but do be careful about the hangover the next morning! Thanks for reflecting on this one...

    The analogies just keep coming, don't they? Thanks!

    Poetry is a conversation held between brain, heart and spirit; intellect will serve effervescent wine; wit, words; the heart likes deep red barrel-aged longing; but beware the clear moonshine distilled by the soul.
  21. Parker Owens
    I am enormously happy you stuck with the story and enjoyed it. Your words almost kind, and encouraging. There is plenty if hope and joy in this tale, despite its terrible beginning; and now I feel it is up to us to look out for and care for the Stefans in our midst. It is wonderful, though, to imagine the story unfolding further. Again, my deep and heartfelt thanks.
  22. Parker Owens
    This speaks very insistently to me, Gary. There is so much to ponder, so much to explore, and at the same time, so much to cherish and recall. This aging soul salutes your curiosity and your urge to understand. Perhaps you can teach us something of navigation in this big wide world. A wonderful poem, Gary. -P

    Lyric #3.5

    Parker Owens commented on Parker Owens's story chapter in Lyric #3.5

    I am glad you liked this small gem. Like an ember, it still glows brightly. I have always liked this one, thank you for enjoying it, too.

    Eric hasn't really ever shopped anyplace else but thrift stores; I know what you mean about credit and its insidious creep, ever upwards. Eric may not have that worry, just yet, but he surely is learning about the need for things to last from Eustace. Thanks for your reviews and support! Your comments are appreciated, even if I have had to get to them late!
  25. Parker Owens
    Eustace is the first man to show Eric much in the way of real respect, and perhaps, compassion. This will stick, perhaps. Love your comment about Eric inhaling his food...and I imagine Eusatce knows something about that, too, though Eric wouldn't know it. And yes, Eric's ability to blend and try to be unnoticed has honed his skill at watching and seeing what others might miss.
