The headless bride stood downstage, in her dress
White, embroidered in scarlet petals at the hem.
She gave the impression of wanting to express
Her deeper thought, but she was only a stem.
When she began to speak, her voice came from
The flower at her waist, as in a cry.
Dear audience, to your eyes I may look dumb
But I am here to give you my reply.
I am a bride, and this I’ll be forever
Never a woman, a lady or a wife,
My pristine dress is telling my endeavour
And this belief I will pursue for life.
You say this rose is white, but rose is also a hue
My colours change with sunset, each dawn I’m white anew.

The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, students, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

After the battle side by side they lay
He wounded in the heart and she in the throat
Their fine clothes and their limbs in disarray
And still the end of conflict was remote.
If what I had of beauty you destroyed
I got of you what I have always wanted
Because the troops was thoroughly deployed.
I was by you, she said, painfully haunted.
I did not want your beauty, the boy said,
Keeping his right hand where his heart once was.
I wanted you, and you alone, instead.
And what I have now makes my joy, because…
A blanket fell in stillness over the battlefield
As alongside they lay: at last they had their fill.

Across her face he draw a shining scar:
Her hair covered the mark, but not the pain.
He could not see the blemish from afar
In his own mirror, and his face remained
An echo of the blankness of his soul.
Her hair covered the mark, but not the pain.
He turned to look, his eyes a dark peephole,
Over his shoulder. In her gentle stance
- An echo of the blankness of his soul -
She frowned, as making sure she had a chance
Smiling at him, pretending not to spy.
Over his shoulder, in her gentle stance
She rearranged her hair, she wiped her eyes,
Probing the mark with shaky fingernails
Smiling at him, pretending not to spy
His dark red reasons, avoiding the details.
Across her face he draw a shining scar
Probing the mark with shaky fingernails:
He could not see the blemish from afar.

I saw the fairies dancing here, I swear:
They shed dresses and shoes around the brook.
They told each other: I’ve nothing new to wear:
I lost my jewels inside this old tree’s nook.
They danced and danced… and fell around to sleep.
They woke and combed their hair, and chatted and laughed
They tried another step, the great air leap
Turning around, uplift by a wind draught.
They fell to sleep again. I had no doubt
That no one would believe that I have met
Them, dancing by the brook. I was about
To catch a fairy, her dancing silhouette…
I have a tiny shoe in precious gems encrusted
I witnessed the dance: my words are to be trusted.

Tasburgh lies in the Tas valley, ten miles south of Norwich. Its name derives from 'Taesa's fort' and the earthworks of an iron age fort are still visible on the hilltop close to the church.
In the churchyard of St. Mary's lies the grave of the novelist Malcolm Bradbury who, together with Angus Wilson, founded of the MA Creative Writing course at the University of East Anglia in 1970.
Bradbury was an academic, a literary critic, a TV script writer and a novelist. He is probably best remembered for his novel The History Man (1975) - which featured Howard Kirk a hypocritical sociology professor who worked at the fictional University of Watermouth.
Although Bradbury lived in Norwich (close to the university) he also had a second home at Tasburgh. His headstone bears the epitaph: 'Warm and generous, Famous and friendly, Wise and witty'
Bradbury is often compared to David Lodge (another university English lecturer) - as they both wrote satirical, campus-based novels. Bradbury also adapted two works for TV by Tom Sharpe: Porterhouse Blue and Blott on the Landscape.
Down in the valley, next to the river stands Rainthorpe Hall which was built by Thomas Baxter who died in 1611. The hall is occasionally open to the public and, following a visit in spring of 1991, I wrote the following poem about the River Tas:
River
You flow endlessly.
Over you your lights are beautiful—luminous and dark, moving and still, broken and whole.
In summer, columns of light—mottled by leaves.
In winter, the bleak light over farmland, the frosted-grey depth.
Today, in spring, lights dancing in and out of shadow—concealing and revealing.
In your course you are infinitely changing—neither crooked nor straight.
You fit your banks.
Running you are beautiful—slow in the deep pools—vociferous and fast in the shallows.
In private land you are hidden.
In public land you are open.
Beneath bridges you reflect back the faces of watchers.
In winter, you fill with water and become clouded.
You race between alders, pound through sluices, tumble over fords.
You wear a sullen expression.
In summer, you slow up and become limpid.
You display your weed in long floating trails.
You glitter past grazing cattle.
Then after long concealment your fish appear—sparkling-sided, melting and merging, vanishing and visible.
Learning the hard way: Cement Burns are darn painful...

On Friday, the College of Liberals Arts welcomed the class of 2016 to Temple University at the Freshman Convocation assembly. More than 600 incoming freshmen gathered to hear words of encouragement, advice and wisdom from Dean Teresa Scott Soufas, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs Jayne Drake, and fellow CLA students.
Two outstanding CLA students addressed the freshmen. D’Juan Lyons, a senior majoring in Spanish Linguistics, emphasized the importance of taking advantage of resources and opportunities here at Temple University. He challenged fellow classmates to avoid shortcuts and to go forth on their new journey “wholeheartedly and with full force.” Speaking from experience, political science major Grace Osa-Edoh shared three powerful lessons with CLA freshmen. Grace encouraged her classmates to “take it one step at a time, be ready to adapt to move forward, and ask for help along the way.”
The College of Liberal Arts wishes all of its students continued success. As Vice Dean Jayne Drake said, “enjoy and embrace your time here at Temple University."
Steve Kay, incoming dean of USC Dornsife, is one of the world’s top experts on genes and circadian rhythms. He has published more than 200 papers and has been cited in Science magazine's “Breakthroughs of the Year” three times since 1997.

I must first preface this by saying that while this is a picture of my handwriting, this is from many moons ago - the 7th Grade to be more accurate - Ms. McDougal's 5th period English class to be precise.
This is probably the best example of my handwriting that I have. After that period in time, I switched to a typewriter (yes, remember those?) and then eventually to a word processor. I always had LOUSY handwriting - probably because of the strange way I write. Yep - little known fact about me - I hold my pen differently than 99% of the people I've ever met. I'm just that strange.
Anyway, I chose this picture specifically because of the HANDWRITING comment (see note!) and I'm mortified that you'll all actually be able to READ this but ehhh... it was so long ago, I can't really be THAT bashful about it, can I? Oh yes, I can!
Anyway, the "Double Wow!!!" comment was written by my English teacher at the time, a great inspiration in my life. Someone I'll never forget. I had her for that on year before my family moved and before she moved on to Nashville to pursue her dreams of becoming a country singer.
Yes, yes.... quite a lot of back story for a seemingly simple picture.
Anyway... a little bit more about me for anyone who happens to be interested.
