Emotion 365: The Land of Blossoming, the Domed Capitol Open

The flowers of Blossoming include dainty ones with spiky petals which grow in the grass and fluffy and lanky ones which reach for the skies. The rolling blossom-covered hills bloom. The sweet air attracts butterflies and bees. 

"We share our sweetness," says the Guide. "We welcome all. Visitors have only to give up their skin to the petals, unfold, and become."

"Everything's sweet in Blossoming," says Miss Doe Friend. 

"Your fur shone as never before," says Miss Emeline Traveler. "And Amma-Pom also has in fine shiny, shaginess."

The Queen of Fairies, Ami-ha-ha, makes frequent visits to Blossoming. She loves to spend time as a flower surrounded by all of her fairy court in floral form. Gentle rain falls. 

Photographers from other lands love to come to Blossoming to document its beauty in all its stages. 

“It is the most beauteous land,” says the Guide. “Poets write of it. Artists capture it.” 

In the center Blossoming, the transparent domed city Open offers vibrant displays. The porous dome admits the Blossoming scents and the sound of the breeze. The Open dome admits direct sun and rainfall. Flowers and vines grow over Open in patterns which ebb and flow with the seasons. 

Gardeners work in Open. They study floriculture. Anyone may come to Open and stay as long as they like. It is a great repository of art with a vast library. Aliens from lands yet to be discovered by outsiders come to Open’s libraries. Openers are kind but easily distracted and often walk away mid-conversation. They do not argue, but often find themselves taking another tack entirely.

"I never had so many new ideas!" exclaims Miss Emeline Traveler.

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.

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...
