A Short Paragraph About You

[gurdonark]

An on-line friend from Goteburg sent me two samples of a Swedish instrument called a nyckelharpa. It's got a great sound--like a cross among a zither, a fiddle, a dulcimer and something indefinable. I'm using it to mine samples to slice, but I admire the samples as they stand now, unadorned.

Today marked another very busy day. I am tired.

The newspaper advised that this January is the most rainy since 1898. We do extremes well where I live. Other places are warmer, other places are colder, but we have compelling contrasts.

I like a meme that is going around the internet these days. I'm impressed, too, with the aplomb people bring to this meme.
Thus, I'm going to incorporate that meme into this post, and issue you an invitation:

I'd be delighted to write you a short paragraph about how cool you are, and what I like about you and your journal. There are but three rules:

a. you may not write back to deny any compliments paid;
b. you need not duplicate my feat in your journal;
c. you shall not turn inot a winged monkey.

I reserve the right to:

a. write a long paragraph, or more than one
b. wax effusively
c. go off on tangents
d. give unexpected praise

As you know, I like to start these things with a silly word in reply.

If you are interested, could you reply--

"All about me"

You rock. (will that do?)

I like that you're so full of life. You seem comfortable with yourself, even though you've had times in your past which made you feel less sure of yourself than you feel now. You have a wide variety of interests. I like that you have a strongly spiritual side, but that you live in a very real world. I like that you're very caring, and that you have a joy of living. I like that you don't see sadness as unavoidable but as inevitable and as part of the way of living. I like that you recognize your self-doubts and don't let them warp you. You're a cool person.

You're wonderful. Thank you.

and wow ... you have a lot of "about me's" left to do!
