Sunlight on a Stormy Sea, c.1640s Bonaventura Peeters the Elder (Flemish, 1614–1652)
That particular circus found a new ringmaster and survived, albeit not quite the same show.
Frogs continue croaking in various ponds. Donkeys and asses still bray in various corrals. Fickle birds warble amongst the dark hemlocks. Dogs howl in the night. Other beings make their selves known in other ways, except for the worms. They are not to be seen or heard unless you dig in the dead leaves, muck, and dung piles.
FRED SPOKE NO MORE.

Really have enjoyed Fred…
Thanks Stephanie, I enjoyed writing them and thought that they may put people off; rather strange writing and story. However, people seemed to like them and followed along quite regularly. Thank you for reading them and the positive feedback. It helps. I am going to disappear from WP for the next month but will remain on FB. Take care.
A happy 2013, and a happy comeback on WordPress!
And a happy 2013 to you also.
What a scary cloud Wally lol. The message I got was life goes on for every one when it’s all said and done. Happy new year to you and Pury! It has been a great joy to read your various styles of writings and just make two new friends!
Yes, The story is; there are people that we will run into in our lives that are detractors from moving humanity forward; mostly they are in groups which allows “mob mentality” to take over their thinking. But in the end, like you said, life goes on and as long as we do our own thinking each of us will not only do fine but also move humanity forward; just a little contribution from each of us will suffice.
Hope the best for you and him and furry ones in 2013.
Kind of like the peer pressure thing right? We all need to be more like shepherds and not sheep – less of “we the sheeple!” Happy New Year to you and Pury! We ended up staying up not because we really wanted to but because of neighbors setting off fire works all night lol.
We hit the sack early; 9:30, our usual time. No fireworks could have awakened me. Hope you get a nap today. Say hello to all and have a great 2013.
Two brilliant pictures to end with!
Thank you for sharing this story. When I have more time on my hands (probably during a lecture) I will go through it again. Not just the story but also for all those amazing art works you shared. Mandijn in particular. 😀
I hope you are not GIVING the lecture when you are reading. That may cause a few problems unless you are either;
1) Very good at multiplexing
2) Have memorized that lecture down to the last word.
See you next year.
