The Three Eyes of Mom

She didn’t have to say a word. You could see it in her eyes. They say a father’s job is to teach boys to become men. But a mother’s job is to teach them why . A dad imparts ideas about responsibility to preserve family and ambitions of self importance. A mom teaches how . There is a line from the book The Angel of Maryville that has a special truth. It is where the heroine of the... (posted by Bing Limousin 11 days 16 hours ago.)

Heroes, Fish-Head Bones, Blues Guitar and Other Secret Recipes

It sounds almost like some kind of Gothic Fairytale: The youngest son of a poor farmer goes out into the world to make his fortune armed with only three things: a knife, a pouch of salt and a bag of bones. Fiction has a way of validating life’s events rather than the other way around- Denton Milford is proof of that. Nobody, except a few here in Parrot...

Musical Tunes, Tattoos, the Security of Literary Notions and the Contemplations of ‘why?’

So I ask her, Doc said, “Why? What’s the deal?” She was a young girl maybe not yet even sixteen. She gave her name as ‘Iron-Butterfly’. He later learned her given name was really Brittany… although the name Iron-Butterfly appropriately fit her appearance. Doc Tiller told me this little story he...

Trains and the Lessons of Seasons

There I was, probably not even ten years old, riding that unforgettable train. They say about life that if you hang around long enough, have sufficient life experiences and garnish some kind of worldly wisdom in your tenure, you soon enough come to the point where you have confidence that you will never understand life at all. Such irony suggests that wisdom is somehow loosely tied to a kind of intellectual... (posted by Bing Limousin 207 days 8 hours ago.)

The Law Firm of Possum, Possum & Possum

By nature I’m a peaceful and compassionate man-sort of. If asked to prove this in any court of law, my best defense might be depositions from critters whom I have assisted in the past; critters that I have put my own life in near peril while trying to bring safety and comfort to theirs. That is, all except the possum. I have heard in the wind some critters refer to me as... (posted by Bing Limousin 217 days 10 hours ago.)

Facebook Does Not Allow Any Mooing, Meowing, Neighing or Barking

“I’ll be your friend if you’ll be my friend,” they said with a big woof and meow. Friends, real or artificial: It was probably as a good a topic as any to discuss, considering the weight of current circumstances on the minds of the local populace these days. With all of the realities of a bad economy, and everything else that seems... (posted by Bing Limousin 232 days 10 hours ago.)

Marbles, the Tolstoy Tango and the Bridge Over the River Try

“If you want to be significant, you need to be insignificant…” The few words weren’t given, or taken, as any kind of rude offering or anything like that. Marble just stated such in her plain, clear voice as she leaned over to pour Randy’s coffee. She broke into the conversation, which she occasionally is known to do, if she feels...

The Bus To Heaven and the Sound of Angels Barking

"Of course we would all be naked", Shepp stated, so anybody who might wonder if he hadn't thought his idea through would know otherwise. He went on to qualify his premise; that a naked soul is not like a naked human body-thank God for that! "Besides," he further explained, "when an immortal soul climbs aboard the Heaven Express bus, the other riders have more important things on their soul-minds; they...
