“There is a difference between a book of two hundred pages from the very beginning, and a book of two hundred pages which is the result of an original eight hundred pages. The six hundred are there. Only you don’t see them.” —Elie Wiesel

@Kate-Flournoy, I think you’ll appreciate this one.

@kate-flournoy Should be good.

@Daeus yes I am. I will be until… eh… ten thirty? You good till then?

@kate-flournoy Well, if you’re still writing, I’m all go.

@Daeus yes. It could be that as well.

If you’re writing now, I’m available…

hmm… I like that theory. Not everything is better broken, but a lot of things are.

And then maybe too it’s a parable about how we see a use in something when a greater use is intended for it that we could have never seen.

What meaning would you give it, by the way?

Ummm… something along the lines of what @Bluejay said, @Daeus, though I was more thinking somehow mankind was more blessed to see the fragments of something than they would have been to see it whole. Like, maybe brokenness was more beautiful… or useful…or something…heh. 😛

I don’t mean of course that ambiguity is synonymous with depth in the way modern poets take that axiom, but I mean in the sense of making imagery universal and subtle.

…if that makes any sense.

I was thinking a straight forward poem would be meaningless and that ambiguity is often synonymous with depth. I think I can support your interpretation though. It sounds like a good one.

What meaning would you give it, by the way?

@kate-flournoy Oh, ENJF. Plenty of weirdness in me. Especially when I’m with friends and when I go brain dead. A combination of the two is positively dangerous.

@Daeus interesting… what’s your MBTI type again?? I though INFPs were supposed to be the weird ones. 😀

That is a lovely poem though.

Interpretation open to interpretation. I have a gut feeling it fits though.

Ok, @bluejay, I’m gonna stop now. I was just planning to get one chapter edited tonight, and I got that done.

@kate-flournoy Thanks. It’s really too bad you can’t join us.

I think it deserves a poem

A jewel was shattered
Men gathered up its fragments
But a wind caught it up and blew it into distant places
And the world sparkled

@Bluejay @Daeus wish I could but I can’t… have fun though.

@bluejay Just starting here.

@winter-rose A conference coming up really soon. Don’t know who it’s by actually, but it’s got AIG, Generations, the Benhams, and some others. It got packed out a while ago (partially due to the fact you got ark tickets with registration.)

@bluejay Ok. I’m stopping now. I edited one chapter which was 1,808 words.

@bluejay. Sure. I can write for a bit. 20-30 min or so.
