Two Species
Why did I decide to make dragons and humans so similar? One of the most interesting things about humans is their inability to see similarities because they are focusing so intently on differences. Many humans find it impossible to identify common ground with others in order to get along simply because of religious, cultural, or…
Heron
Did you ever wonder why Heron was willing to spend most of his life with a dragon, hiding his own intelligence from the other dragons? Or why Grabon was willing to do the same among the humans? Why did claiming the territory change all of that? Well as far as Heron hiding his intelligence from…
Freezing Rain
We traveled home again after a wonderful visit with my brother and his family. The food was fantastic, the company entertaining and many of the stories worth repeating. However the weather really could have been nicer. About halfway home, we had to stop for de- icing, gas and a bathroom. We passed three cars whose…
Intimidation
Almost everyone has had a moment when they needed to stand up against their own fear, justified or not. It is one of the things my characters do well. They face their own fears, establish new standards and strive forward in the participation of their own life. Many people I have known over the years…
Happy Easter
For those of you who worship, practice, or celebrate, have a wonderful time. Gatherings are special as you can tell from my stories and something I especially enjoy. As people travel, I hope they stay safe and keep an eye on the weather.
Travel Day
Of course we traveled by car, over rivers and through some magnificent hollows and landscapes. As always we enjoyed the journey, stopping as often as we liked and taking in all the sights of spring. My brother was happy to see us, as were all the rest. We went to eat some really good food,…
Holiday
No matter what holiday you celebrate as these seasons change, enjoy the celebration; eat, gather with friends and family, and take some time to renew yourself. From my world to yours, have a wonderful holiday!
Education
Where are the schools? On NewEarth the schools are in the colonies or larger settlements. Youths and children beyond those areas are educated by their parents and community. Is Grabon interested in a school? You will need to wait and see. What about books? The image of books are easily embedded on beads, easier to…
Awandering
The whole idea of youth awandering to educate themselves is based on a student directed education approach, where students decide what they want to learn. Picking when and how they want to prioritize and direct their education. This is in opposition to a mass scheduled system designed to push through millions of youth at a…
Colors and Markings
Dragons have interesting pigments in their skin with various markings. Many of those markings develop over time, but some are present at birth. The skin pigments come in various colors with different intensities. Most dragons do not make too much of the coloring or markings, but of course some of them wish to assign meaning…
Race
In a race between a cattle, human and a dragon, the human is faster than a dragon on the ground but much slower than a cattle. Flying, the dragon wins since the human and cattle do not fly. If the dragon was in the air and the human and cattle were on the ground? The…
Flying
How fast can a dragon fly? I really don’t know as I have never been in a position to clock one, but a I can tell you that a territory is 60-70 miles across, and a dragon can fly that distance in a little less than what we call an hour. But only if they…
