Like a character staring out at the colors of a nebula because of course that display of light would make a person pause.

I'll keep it in mind from now on.

The best stories are studies in human nature, and how we respond to the trials and tribulations of life. I like happy endings, because they seem so rare in real life. <br /><br />Great topic, this month!Fiona McGierhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13495707848048468428noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233003946884986046.post-76113551596456178452019-05-19T10:16:36.132-04:002019-05-19T10:16:36.132-04:00Even better thanks to your kind edits!Even better thanks to your kind edits!Rhobinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08627825512017360508noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233003946884986046.post-23137408984282056432019-05-19T03:39:15.365-04:002019-05-19T03:39:15.365-04:00As usual, I agree with you.

And a story isn't memorable unless it relates to people's experiences.<br />I've read Rhobin's new historical work, and it's excellent.Dr Bob Richhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13905005432340711608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6233003946884986046.post-7238251923197728122019-05-18T16:15:31.910-04:002019-05-18T16:15:31.910-04:00The Carolingian Age is part of the Dark Ages now k...The Carolingian Age is part of the Dark Ages now known as the early Middle Ages.
