Emotion 365: The Valley Rapturous, the Village Pleased

Imperative wild flowers blossom in the valley Rapturous. Daisies with jagged-edged leaves and slim yellow petals flutter in the breeze beside frozen orchids with thick, dripping red and purple folds. Honeydew shimmers on erect stamens. Visitors walk through hallucinogenic pollen seeing vivid colors and laughing with delight, “We are like honeybees!”

Rapturous honeybees have the capacity to sting, but rarely do. They contain their rage and live full lives.

"Rapturous remains a secretive place and hard to find," says Miss Emeline Traveler. "Yet, anyone committed to walking toward it eventually arrive."

She herself air dropped in, floating down from the sky and landing on soft, open blossoms.

"In Rapturous, everyone sleeps out of doors in the mild, fragrant air," says the Guide.

Dew waters the plants and evaporates in the sunshine. Sunbeams awaken the blossoms which unfold in glory. Visitors pick petals and smash them into wine.

“One can live for days off the liqueur of flowers," says the Guide.

On the cliffside of Rapturous sits the humble village, Pleased. Stairs lead up to it from the floral Rapturous valley. The waterfall Pleased descends alongside the steps and a permanent rainbow rises out of the mist.

"It is the best place from which to watch the Rapturous sunrises and sunsets overlooking the valley and see the blossoms unfurl for the day and fold into night," says Miss Doe Friend.

Homes are neat and the village well-tended in Pleased. The inhabitant's fur gleams with good health. The communal lodge serves sustaining food to travelers who arrive after long walks and prepare to descend the stairs into the Rapturous valley.

Thoughts on "Depression Hates a Moving Target": What I Mean by Relatable

Relatable — I used this word in my reviews of Depression Hates a Moving Target   by Nita Sweeney on Goodreads and Amazon . It's a nice word, but overused of late. So, it feels lazy. What do I mean? I connected with this book. It made me reflect more on my own first marathon experience. It made me want to put on my running shoes and head out the door again. In fact, I did. Now, typically, my mental health doesn't hinder my ability to do the stuff I want to do and my body flies under the radar. Still, I also felt goofy stepping out in my running gear a lot of the time. I didn't see myself as a "runner" or an athlete. And, I had no idea if I could run 13 miles let alone 26.2 when I started. More to the point, could I stay moving for the 4+ hours straight it would take to complete the marathon? To do the training mileage, I knew I'd have to run through streets and trails on my own and that made me nervous, too. Waves of grief wash us to strange shores. Whe...

What is Solarpunk? Good question, great answers from our community

What is solarpunk? My fellow Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers authors Commando Jugendstil and Tales from The EV Studio put together this video for the Turin International Book Fair . It features editors and authors from the solarpunk community sharing their thoughts. Together we're imagining optimistic futures based on renewable energy. My soundbite was: "Solarpunk futures are — green spaces with clean water that are pedestrian, collective, feminist, creative communities. And they include non-human animals. " Mary "solarpunk" Shelley cat did a great job (at 6:15) helping from her rather ridiculous cat tree which she absolutely loves. And what better time to wear this solar-colored "Veganism is Feminism" tee from The Herbivore Clothing Company . Seriously. I'm holding a stack of solarpunk books: Glass and Gardens: Solarpunk Summers  edited by Sarena Ulibarri which includes my story "Watch Out, Red Crusher!".  Wings of R...

Springy story review: "State Change" by Ken Liu

Why it springs to mind:  You'll never look at an ice cube the same way again. Where read: In the 2014 Hugo award-winning Lightspeed Magazine , August. Length: 5,194 words Summary: A woman has an ice cube for a soul. Memorable: How the story invites us to think about the shape of our soul, how it (or our perception of it) influences us and how it changes. What ordinary every day object would your soul be? A silver spoon, a beech stick? A great party conversation starter, this. Quote:  “All life is an experiment." Notable:  The protagonist Rina is an avid reader (always a good choice). Pairs well with: T.S. Elliot, Edna St. Vincent Millay Origin:  The story was written in 24 hours based on a writing prompt. (See Author Spotlight: Ken Liu ) About the author: Ken Liu’s debut novel, The Grace of Kings , the first in a fantasy series The Dandelion Dynasty, is due out from Saga Press ( a new Simon & Schuster imprint ) in 2015.
