As a frequent writer of prompts (more than 20 years of teaching writing, I tend to be irreverent with writing prompts, seeing them more as fog rising from a hot summer pavement after a downpour. Since I have already seen your response to the prompt, I love how the "assignment" is evolving and look forward to reading what others write. Will they follow our suit or respond entirely differently? I hope we stay in touch and if we do, I know you will learn more about my evolution. Thanks for caring.Ruth Schowalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106140875246572230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733812559283418635.post-57072228951915072762014-05-27T10:13:18.190-04:002014-05-27T10:13:18.190-04:00Lee thank you for visiting my blog and leaving suc...Lee thank you for visiting my blog and leaving such a supportive comment! I love knowing that you are a Wood Rooster! It suits you! I really experience your groundedness. I look forward to reading your response to the prompt.Ruth Schowalterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03106140875246572230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733812559283418635.post-67300354568410687562014-05-26T16:46:51.346-04:002014-05-26T16:46:51.346-04:00Well Dang it Ruth.

This would have been excruciating for all involved as explaining why I create what I do frequently involves a long-winded diatribe on what I just read, saw, heard or ate. Thankfully, your response to the blog prompt has helped clarify the prompt. I found your blog a wonderful insight into your evolutionary history. It leaves me curious as to how much of Earth Dog and White Bird are still in you. I want to know how you transitioned into Hallelujah Truth and who was Ruth before she transmogrified. Thank you again for this lovely insight into you.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2733812559283418635.post-43506233477280121502014-05-26T11:57:19.363-04:002014-05-26T11:57:19.363-04:00I love this, Ruth.

You identified important aspects of yourself, and embodied Earth Dog White Bird which I see today in you as very grounded, and your eloquent words for others help their spirits soar. I'm a Wood Rooster - which I continue to pay attention to because it feels as if that is a part of this life's grounding: earthy dirty pleasures (the nature of which continues to flux and flow) and waking with the birds is a daily thrill, still. Thanks so much for modeling this weeks prompt.Lee58Russellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02281698911078108024noreply@blogger.com
