After writing, I looked back over some older posts, surprising myself by how often I've actually done this without even knowing. Having the term, definition and challenge, forced me into way over thinking. I was saying to Brian that this was the best bit of fun I've had with a prompt in a while! No matter my result! lol Another wonderful share here, Fred...and sorry for my ramble!Tashtoohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15847190224960829574noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-930188128946500869.post-91755897491740623022011-10-28T04:08:40.014-04:002011-10-28T04:08:40.014-04:00Of palates and spices I'd say that you worked ...Of palates and spices I'd say that you worked your way through the whole spice rack of sadness! And very well done, too! I particularly enjoyed "(a bubbled up-bubbled over-babbling of gibberish)"........ but I think you missed the fifth dimension of sadness: from an old Saturday Night Live" skit, "The Whiners." Whiners are even less devoted to their own sadness than Weepers, I think, but they are way more (and annoyingly) vocal about it! LOL!

Here the individual prays ...'the wishing wail. Here the individual prays for such joyous occasions, they claw at the fabric of existence, hoping, pining for a moment so wonderful, that their floodgates can open and pour their happiness unto the entire world, indifferent to the actual politics of location or sum quantity of bystander.' I love how you've parsed out human emotion into tiers of expression where the highest function of the tear is to share joy without concern for how it appears to others. 'Variety is the balancing beam on which we walk. Sure we like familiarity, and often times, change fosters a grimace, upon our all too-often, already scowled countenances. Yet, personally, I’d be at a loss for words, if palates of commonplace were all there was to work with.' We often forget explorers went to the ends of the earth to obtain spices and entire empires were built upon them.
