I love watching a good storm roll in but I have never fully subscribed to the “go try and spot the tornado” mentality. I have too much respect for those storms to want to watch that happen in real time. I’ll settle for seeing that through my cameras.
Right before a thunderstorm starts though and the wind is picking up. That’s ideal to stand in the middle of.

Powerfully penned, Willow. Storm watching huh? I can’t remember the last time I did that. lol. Excellent write my friend, glad you’re ok, nature does know how to put on a show. Appreciate you.

Tremendous work. Vivid and sharp.

We get the occasional blizzard too. Though nothing like you northerners get. Mostly we get icicles on our ass, & wild thunderstorms. They’re speculating we caught the trailing edge of a tornado this time. Lucky, we were very lucky. Thanks girl

Interesting thought. you mean he/she will fade into obscurity if you do not think of it.

Powerfully penned, Keith. A write with lots of layers, you’re Captain Hook my friend. I mean that in a good way. Appreciate you.

Appreciate the feedback. Thanks Mary.

Once again, a great and thought provoking writing, my friend! I agree absolutely that it is a waste of time to worship revengeful and judgmental God. It only supports the authorities in power who benefit from the fear and insecurity of the masses.
Personally, I believe that there is an immeasurable and intelligent energy behind of all of creation which doesn’t care about so called sins or acts of veneration. As we are born with a thinking mind, we are challenged to decide whether to create or to destroy.
A powerful piece,hats off!

Grandma knew exactly what to do with us. 6 of us & she never lost her temper. Good memories…Thank you, girl

hello beautiful Willow this was a twist I didn’t know where you were going it’s very clever and relateable I had to clean my dad’s grandfather clock when naughty 💕

Brilliantly penned, Willow. Into the book it belongs! Amazing storytelling my friend, I can relate. Not that I got in trouble a lot, but when I did, not a fun time by any means of the imagination. Excellent work, as always. Appreciate you.

I love “old timey” pieces. It brings back the good ol days, even if we didn’t know that they were, then. I would’ve preferred the chair over the usual ass whuppin.
But eh, I survived.
It’s always interesting to me how others lived and dealt with their own upbringings. This was a wonderful story indeed. I raised my kids on “time out” instead of spankings, as your story reflects. It’s a better choice.
Very entertaining write, Willow. Bravo.

It’s good to see YOU here, too.

I remember trying to explain why I keep my eyes open when kissing and intimate moments. “Because I need to reassure myself you aren’t him. Won’t turn into a monster.” Yeah, this one gripped me…
