Bill Tabb with this comment:
That first link…it’s the butterfly effect. Or perhaps it’s Heisenberg. Either way, you cannot use the energy without somehow affecting it. The wind blows, the turbine turns, the turbulence created causes a drop of rain to fall in Mali, a seed germinates……
And lets keep religion out of it. That just throws a spanner in the works.
As for Oxford, let us not forget that while Newton made incredible contributions to our knowledge of how the solar system and the universe works and why stuff falls down, he was also one of the preeminent alchemists of his day.
You now owe me a letter, Bill!
I started writing this blog in an effort to build a place I could vent all that didn’t fit on the professional sites I wrote for and as a way to keep in touch before facebook made that so easy. Through it I have met the most wonderful people, reconnected with many I’d worried I’d lost and learned much from all.
To say I’m grateful for every click and comment is understating how blessed I am, but I am truly at a loss when it comes to conveying my thankfulness.
I will occasionally read back through posts, relive moments, and each time I do I realize how much sharing small bits of my world has brought me in return. In joy and grief, in rage and in praise, through celebrations and solitude, I have not been alone.
Yes, I live on this tiny island in the middle of a huge sea, but by connecting as I can … and having you connect back … I feel the threads that bind me to the greater fabric, and I love the tug that comes with being part of the weave.
Thank you.
Thank you.

First, I’d like to thank the academy and my parents, without whose collaboration I would not have been possible…
And your letter? I will begin tomorrow.
Love,BT
Your parents read me, too, Bill?
I look forward to the letter …
This is so beautiful, Sandra! I love reading your blog and your published work. You are such a gift to many. Keep shining your light.
Way to go, Bill Tabb!
Thank you, Marianne, for all your support and kindness …
jealous!
You crack me up, Amy! You have the book already and at least one poem and a post from me to you!

damn it I never win anything 😥
Oh, I don’t know about that, Bobby ….
Hmmmmmmmmmmmm
Do explain 🙂
Just guessing you win fairly often …
Why “hmmmmm” dear Oyeniyi?
I think it was a “girl observation”. Secret womens’ business we can’t divulge. 😀
Thanks Sandra.
On the second try i got it. Read it right away ‘cover to cover’ Where’s the beatnik coffeehouse in Seychelles that I can go to to hear you do a reading?
I don’t often comment but I do enjoy your writing. Thanks so much.
Thanks, Bill. Maybe I should open a beatnik coffee house. Heck, there’s not Starbucks, so it might work!
Glad you got it, liked it and read me. You’re a pal!
