Just another POST CARD FROM THE PAINTING STUDIO followed by LIBERTY AND DRAGON-Eclipse, Magic, Myth
Post Card from the Painting StudioMy work week was very demanding and exhausting. No one is putting a gun to my head, yet, and I do enjoy my job most of the time. I woke today at the crack of noon to a bright clear day without a cloud in the sky. Perfect for my Sunday walk, 38 degrees and sunny. Half a pot of coffee, French toast ala Stephen and I was off. I wore a light jacket and the sun felt warm on my face. This is going to be grand! No snow except for some scattered dirty clumps, the twitter of birds and clear blue above. Then just as I gained my stride the winds began to gust, and gust to turn me cold but not turn me back. I laughed and thought it was the revenge of the Snow Queen. A week or so ago I had my yearly check up at the VA Clinic and am good to go. Well, my Dr. did refer me to Mental Health for an appointment. Imagine that! Smile.Yesterday was my very good friend Jeremy’s 30th birthday. Happy Birthday Jer! http://starwarsfan77.spaces.live.com My dinner is in the oven. Spare ribs with sauerkraut, caraway seeds, new red potatoes, onions, with Lawry’s seasoned salt, pepper, garlic and a can of beer. When the dish is nearly ready I will finish it off with dark brown sugar. I am going to call my Mother now, then get a Gin on ice and do some writing. Am in the mood for some fiction mixed with poetic whatever I come up with.LIBERTY AND DRAGON-ECLIPSE, MAGIC, MYTH AND SOMETHING ABOUT THE MOONLiberty stepped softly from the clouds and spread her wings then soared. White feathers stretched as she sailed and the Sun light glinted all around her, in the clear blue and the twilight she found the Dragon and thwacked him on the snout. There was a quiet rumble and a puff of smoke as the Dragon began to wake. One red eye, then the other opened, to see Liberty. The Dragon then smiled and wagged his tail. Or rather, slapped and thumped it in the Cave.Liberty was rubbing her right elbow and smiling at the Dragon as she folded her wings and said," Dragon, did you see the Eclipse last night? It was so glorious and a moment to behold."The Dragon sat upright and wiped the sleep from his eyes, took a drink of dragon brew and cleared his throat, then said. " Of course I saw the Eclipse, I made the Moon look red!" With a small puff and an expression of indignation. Rather child like in a dragon sort of way. Liberty was right there."Silly Dragon, you had nothing to do with the Eclipse or the color of the Moon. These are not the Olden Days." She said, in a firm but gentle voice.The Dragon put his claws together, looked down and there was a slight twitch of his tail. He was silent for several moments, staring off into Space. Liberty just stood there and touched his head, graced his brow and patted him like he was an old dog. Warm and friendly. The love of eternety returned and there was a spark in his eye as he said." Yeah, I know the Olden Days are gone. That is why I slumber so. You look better than ever! Why do you keep rubbing your elbow?" The dragon then took another draw of the dragon brew as Liberty smiled and replied." It is nothing, but a slight pain from holding the Torch. More of this later." She said and sat next to the Dragon with a wing and an arm around him.Head to head they nustled in silence as the worlds and words spun about them. The memory of the Olden Days and the New Worlds and thoughts of their place These Days. Oh, there the memory of Liberty and Dragon danced with the Lords and Ladies, the Faries and Angels people of the forests, rock, stone, river, streams, oceans and all the Saints and Fires that glimmer in the night and imagination. That have ever been and ever shall be……Then Dragon held out his hand and said with a smile. " Sissor, rock, or paper?" Liberty laughed out loud! A laugh that rings in all things, it was so sharp and sweet.She smiled at the Dragon, rubbing her elbow. Then Said, " Dear Dragon, it is written somewhere that in the Beginning Was the Word. The Word became that which gave us life in the mind of humanity. There we have given Humanity the beauty of the Myth, the Magic and healing quality of words. The poets and the Muse. The Dream of the Other Worlds and the beauty of All."There they both sat in profound silence and reviewed the sad state of human history. All the terror, wars, greed, disaster, famon, starvation, man’s cruelty to man’s own kind and the rape and pilliage of the Planet that gave them birth. Sacred sweet life, the ability. The desire, the Dream.Liberty, sighed and said, " My elbow is sore from holding the Torch," as she held the Dragon and wept.The Dragon, wiped her tears and said, " Dear Liberty, though they need us not in the times of their own making and folly. They need us forever in the beauty of the Myths, Magic and Glory of it All.
"Yes, there we shall ever be." Liberty spread her wings and soared with a song of Freedom holding high the Torch for All to see the Light.
To me, the beauty of the myth, is as dear as the reality. There we are able to examine our heritage as our heritage is paramount to the future. We need and desire fiction that is more than entertainment. Thus, we were given the Word and the desire to share.
As ever be well, With love, Stephen Craig Rowe

Hi Stephen,Glad to hear that your health is okay and that you are busy being creative as ever.Take care,Elise
Stephen,I have been having trouble posting to and linking to your space. Will try again another time as I guess Spaces is acting up.
What a beautiful story, Stephen! I fell in love with this tired Liberty. Would you mind, if I take your story and try to translate in German for to put it in my own Space as yours? Please tell me.

(what happens to "spaces"? It doesn’t like to show my name),
but – Stephen, thank you for you have told me "yes" to translate your beautiful story of Liberty and her dragon. There it is:
Ein Märchen von einem Drachen und Liberty mit dem schmerzenden Ellbogen …
and I hope, you’ll like it.
If we are in fact Pan narrans , we all should make up our minds to tell stories of beauty and magic, to have something to put against horror films an violence as entertainment.
Here, near Vienna, it is 01:12 AM, so Good Night now. :-)
And in the naked light I saw 10000 people maybe more People talking without speaking People hearing without listening People writing songs that voices never share No one dare Disturb the sound of silence
Silence is emotion
Dont need words to express my-self
Open mind through my pictures
Light and darkness making love
And becoming stardust for
Children eyes
Thanks for your words
eXiL
Stephen,
how kind of you to stop by and tell me this story, after such a long time i haven’t come to visit you, i receive such love as well :)
i feel that as well-that is that we need and desire fiction, and can’t live without it…and in fiction there is the mythologies as well as our own dreams, poetry, art….
i loved this "God and I love you where there are no words"’ i’m looking more and more for this place – where amazing lights and peace are manifested visually in great beauty
Lindo texto…maravilhoso…com muito custo consegui ler…com a ajuda de um tradutor …é claro!!!
Beijos…volto meu querido!!!
Thankssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!!
Obrigadooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo!!!!
1.000 beijos … 1.000 kisses…
Always enjoy your writing, but reading about your dinner is making me hungry :-) Be well,
J.
You had dinner yourself? such a beautiful dinner! with Gin on ice I rather liked it, I noticed your stories involved in the moon which is very romantic after you finished that you needed another Gin on ice ha ha
Enjoy your evening,
Michiko
Stephen, Thanks for the best comment in the history of my humble little space! regards, Randall
Heide, near Vienna, has helped to put you into the catagory of a World Wide Poet, Mien Schatz. And indeed you are Ein Schatz!
Europe is at the tail end of one of the warmest winters I have experienced. No snow to speak of which has not made many of the ski resorts happy but I am not sad about it. Biking to work every morning, snow would certainly be a hardship for me.
Flowers and trees have blossomed here and the days are warm enough to shed some inner layers of clothing. I hope to go out and make some more videos to show off my "home town" of Heidelberg with its new spring wardrobe.

Stephen saw it on Jorge’s Space and rushed over here. Wow, I love Liberty and Dragon. So sweet and mystical and full of truth. Interesting use of the most argued verse of the bible by the way. Soon I will be hitting the road for Texas, blogging all the way, and just excited about what the open road will behold.
Blessed be
