Another indoor today because as much as two inches of rain is due. Out his front window, mariner saw a man walking his dog on a leash down the street. For those who own dogs, it is a large, life-affecting […]

skipper wrote a new post, Have a moment? 6 months ago
If you plan to have a birthday party, would you have it in a yard or a yard?
Confused? One or the other means a measurement; the other means a contained area.
What’s the same about these words? rain, rein, […]

I would rather have a birthday party in a garden or a garden, I replied sheepishly.

Readers want a clearer definition of where the monomyth was in the Native American experience cited by Chief Seattle. The monomyth was the completely accepted reality that all existence was anthropomorphically […]

Thank you for the clearer definition of the Native American monomyth and the comparison with the world view of the developing Western civilization. It is more clear than Joseph Campbell’s explanation! It also makes me realize that that primitive world view which lasted for thousands of years cannot be sustained with the advent of science and reason. “Knowledge grows from more to more, it cannot grow from more to less.” I think that is Tennyson’s response to Chief Seattle.
However, I may be wrong. Maybe lots of people live perfectly adequate lives without benefit of science or reason.

skipper commented on the post, ChatGPT elitism 6 months, 3 weeks ago
Hmmm . . . Can’t think of anyone. What users have to do to identify the preferred idiolect is ask Google what is the average user income for each specific idiolect. It’s no different than checking out who uses various social network platforms.
Hey! How about Walter Winchell?

Mariner spent most of the day in the garden. For the most part, he was pulling weeds to see if he still had garden plants under the weeds. He seldom meanders among the gardens because more pressing tasks are […]

This is what a garden is for–not for show, but to experience nature up close and create habitat for chipmunks, monarch butterflies, fireflies, birds, bees–and rabbits!
