Understanding for Flash in the Pan


“Buzz, try again”

The refrain was getting old; he was getting ready to smash the computer screen. The test was harder than he imagined. He had been doing this job for well over three decades, now his abilities and knowledge were being tested.

If he didn’t know what he was doing by now he never would. Tests had never been his strong point, that’s why he took this job in the first place. He learned on his feet.

The days at the job were numbered, so much for only needing attention to detail. The results would not be in until morning, he decided to dust some bones one last time.

 His understanding was obvious in his work; the test would not reveal it.

C is for Calm

It's been so long that I'm not sure what it is anymore but I think I'm beginning to find calm. It is the feeling that allows you to find contentment in the smallest things. It does not have to be something major, it can be something as simple as a gentle breeze. There are a number of things that have a calming effect; I look forward to being able to do them. What are they? I'll tell you in no particular order. Walking on the beach. Drinking a beer by a bonfire. Sitting in front of a fireplace. Reading a book. Spending time alone just thinking or writing just to write. Calm is a nice feeling, and one that has been missed the last few years. Slowly it is returning that is why C is for calm.
