Check-in with Yourself
What dream of you do you keep with you?
Friday, January 16, 2026
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
How's your brew?
Coffee, tea? An Oatmeal stew?
Start your day. Time to do you.
Quite a business you're in... This You Business.
What do you think of yourself when you think of yourself?
What dream of you do you keep with you?
A friendly point of order for you:
You can only ever be as good, as successful, as happy, as the best dream you keep of yourself.
Check-in with yourself.
Do your dreams of who and what you are and may be, serve what you consider a good life would be?
If you can't imagine it in your life, there's no place for it, so it can never show.
Make a space in your dream for what you feel is your best life.
Be a welcoming host to your greatest dreams of you.
Then take the steps to see them come true.
Recognize when they do and be grateful.
Some friendly advice from your favorite Ghost Poet this morning.
Life can be something wonderful, so Life is worth wondering about.
Dream great dreams for yourself, make a place for them, then go about the work that brings them in.
Sun's up. Cool blue light on leafless tree limbs that sway their Winter's dance in the wind.
As always, thanks for reading, take care and make wonderful this wonderful day.

Your Dream and Your Voice
Being a poet, sooner or later, I ought to write about mush.
Thursday, January 15, 2026
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
At it again. O/
Still a few hours till sunrise.
Being a poet, sooner or later, I ought to write about mush.
And misconception.
There's more to being a poet than the card aisle at The Pharmacy.
Though, a poem is medicine when you read it right.
Conciseness and clarity of language is the aim of every poet.
We make better and new ways to express what it is to be alive through words.
We're quality control for words themselves.
Always here to make certain we get as much out of our language as we intend to express.
Our worlds run on words. Poets expand what is possible for language to say.
And so, poets widen what is possible for us to share.
Our relationships are able to deepen because of the work I do.
We can know each other better.
...
Colore marches on. There's already a side-story posted this week.
The next main story verse introduces us to The New World our heroes find themselves in.
From the author's point of view, it's important certain details are set-up to ensure cohesion to the storyline that follows.
This is where the difference in story writer's methods becomes practical.
If you write a story by the seat of your pants, you do your plotting as you go.
A pantser's plot is called: Their First Draft.
As I'm writing Colore as 'live' a process as possible, and I post finished pieces of The Epic at least weekly, the dream of the story (the plot) has to be complete in my mind. There's no turning back once posted to edit.
This would be considered a job-hazard to most writers; I consider it fun.
And didactic.
It's a matter of trusting your dream and your voice.
This author's been dreaming and writing (though never sought publication) everyday for nearly three decades.
Humbly, Colore is in competent hands.
I wouldn't attempt it if I thought otherwise. The message is too important.
There are a lot of things America's been saying about a lot of things in the same ways for a long time. (Hint: The Epic's Name)
Time to upgrade our language about how we talk about some very serious concerns.
Poet's work.
And so I write.
Take care, know your work (and worth), and make wonderful this wonderful day.

The Stories We Keep
If you're new here, this isn't just a clever literary convention, I really am undead.
Wednesday, January 14, 2026
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Welcome back. O/
Another day, another ray of sunrise sunshine from your favorite undead poet, +he Ghos+.
Thanks for reading.
(If you're new here, this isn't just a clever literary convention, I really am undead. No brains for breakfast for this zombie. Oatmeal works just fine.)
On with our show...
...
One of those mornings where there's just so much. Where to start? What topic to pick?
Do you have moments or mornings like this, too?
It comes down to choice.
The quality of our lives ultimately comes from the priorities we keep.
So this morning wants to write about choice itself, and that means values.
Consider your relationships to find your definition of worth.
What story each person, place, and thing holds for you determines its value for you.
If there's something in your life, and you just can't seem to shake it, change its storied meaning to better suit your day.
Perhaps you're not a fan of snowy winters. But it's too soon, or impractical, right now to move to a tropical paradise.
There are plenty of ways (stories) to love the snow. Choose one that suits you.
We are the accumulation of the stories we keep.
At birth we inherit the tales of our ancestors, we become adults when we start choosing which to keep and which to discard.
What stories rule your days?
Maybe it's time to refresh a few.
Do that today.
Take care and make wonderful this wonderful day.

Consider the Source
Wonder Fell doesn't do politics, but it certainly does The Human Spirit.
Tuesday, January 13, 2026
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Peace.
What is it and where?
This morning wants to write about Peace, so here we go...
Wonder Fell doesn't do politics, but it certainly does The Human Spirit.
And Faith Esperanza James Campaign Speeches (From Colore):
"Our politics, of late, have become a Theatre of The Absurd and we're all standing around staring at our phones, talking about what doesn't help, waiting for Godot to show up with our moral compass so we can do the right things to heal.
But we're not sick, our stories are.
Our News tells us to pay attention to one thing while our hearts tell us something else.
Where does our News come from?
As long as the answer to that question is someone or some organization that stands to gain something other than public gratitude, we must be weary about trusting the information shared.
Consider the Source, is great advice to keep in mind as you read or watch anything calling itself News these days.
The major concern of every media outlet is to keep you watching, not your best interests.
The first, and most pertinent reason, for why any major News Network's camera films anything is so you watch it.
Enter sensationalism and the nightmare circus show of our current News narrative.
The same ways of business that run Hollywood run and rule our Media.
We're being entertained for the profit of a few with horror shows.
Billions of dollars are made daily... as long as you watch.
"Should we just ignore all the injustice then? Surely, that isn't right."
-Concerned Citizen
Of course we shouldn't ignore injustice. The point here is the larger injustice, the disease and not the symptom. People are paid billions everyday to report tragedies. And people love to get paid.
We must turn our attention and our cameras to what's best about us if we're to survive.
We make Good News profitable by watching it more, by choosing it over the Hell being served us so often.
There are plenty of good people doing good things in every community everyday. Let's talk about them. Let's make their stories where the profit is.
What we feed grows.
All the attention given to angry shock jocks and malignant media machines over the past few decades has created some well-fed monstrosities.
Do you listen and watch them for information or entertainment?
There are better places, that serve your well-being better, to get both.
There's no Right or Left wing conspiracies going on in America.
There are a few people with a lot of money and a media for hire.
That's the state of our Union for the past few decades.
Government isn't a team sport; it's a team effort.
The reason so many feel an us against them mentality in the realm of politics is because it's an easy narrative to direct.
When you pick a side you're labeled and easily led.
Right-wings and Left are both fasteners, there to attach puppet strings to viewers to make them fly where the well-paid cameras lead them to go.
How long before America finds out it's being puppeted around?
Talk with your communities, your fellow workers, your friends. Place your focus and concern there.
Elect good people. If you wouldn't trust a person to babysit your child, they certainly shouldn't be trusted to govern your State or Country.
They also shouldn't be trusted to tell you what's News."

Sun's up... another tomorrow becomes today.
Take care, consider your sources and their whys, and make wonderful this wonderful day.

The Stories You Tell Yourself
What to wear today?
Monday, January 12, 2026
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
What an interesting place, our World... this Life.
Remove human drama for a moment and consider what we have to witness.
There's The Sun.
Different angles and intervals of light rule the days.
The oceans wave to churn.
Air picks up its pace, or slows, in a great dance called wind.
Water is a fashion show model always changing outfits to suit the scene.
Ice, snow, steam, and rain; mist, hail, and slush... water cycles a perpetual strut, the sky for its catwalk, the clouds for backstage dressing rooms.
What to wear today?
Then there's the land with its conditions. Certain seeds only grow in certain soil.
Mother Nature dresses differently for different temperatures.
Arctic snowmen have nothing to wear in The Amazon.
Everything grows here as a function of time. Even rocks erode and change shape. Some stories call it impermanence, but it's just what time is for.
Life is a circle going somewhere; Time spins the wheel.
Where we're going depends on the stories you tell yourself.
There's too much wonder, too much order, too much beauty and the possibility for love, for Life to be arbitrary.
Why do stories work? The answer is not plot points, three act structure, or The Hero's Cycle.
Those are maps for methods. Why the same story makes people of all shapes, sizes, and cultures laugh and cry at the same moments is evidence there's more to Life than microscopes can measure.
Perhaps Science stays away from the question of why for reasons of foresight. Story and Art already have the question of why well under control.
Wonder Fell addresses the power of story often; it's the gateway to faith.
There's no preaching here. We all must find our own way. Which means finding the stories that best help us understand and experience all Life has to offer.
Speaking of stories, Colore is about to take-off into more fantastical fun.
I'm glad to be able to share some stories with you. I hope (and Hope does, too) you enjoy them.
As always, thank you for reading, take care and make wonderful this wonderful day.

What's Wonderful for You?
2026.01.11
Sunday, January 11, 2026
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
How's the day? O/
Something wonderful for you...
What words would re-spark wonder in your life?
"Free money. Just read."
How's that?
With all the majestic mountains, and the magic of moonlight, and what love can and does do; have we sunk so low?
Where do you place your value? What's wonderful for you?
Life is worth so much more than where we place our value, lately.
Our stories are loud, flashy, sensational with our music; hints at morality hold them together because morality is an essential part of any work of art.
Because doing what is right means reaffirming Life's intrinsic value.
Living... to be alive is a wonderful thing.
How did so many, so often, forget?
I blame our stories, our lowercase arts.
We match Art with Entertainment and attempt to equate the two. But the purpose of Art is the opposite of Entertainment.
Entertainment distracts; Art demands attention.
The first helps us forget. The latter makes us remember what it means to be alive.
Every morning I write at the miracle of dawn because somewhere in all our computing, all our money woes and ways, we trained ourselves to forget.
Another New Englander over a century ago left his modern world and set up shop in the woods to see about living deliberately.
Every morning, going on two years, I write the sunrise to remember this miracle called Life.
If your world is flat and lacking joy, reset your alarm clock, watch a few sunrises, and remember as you watch the star come over the horizon: That doesn't have to happen.
Wonder for a few moments why it does. Be grateful for all it allows. Take care and make wonderful this wonderful day.

The Way Heroes Do
2026.01.10
Saturday, January 10, 2026
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Welcome back. O/
World building takes time. That's what's going on with Colore, lately.
How best to use the ways of story, fable, and myth to best express a message or two is my work at present.
It's poet's work. Taking a literary verse structure and using it to hold dreams you wish to share is what poets do.
This poet is working with myth, with the novel, with story itself.
If Colore is to be an American Epic many different ways of presenting a dream must come together as one to mirror the intent of The Nation.
It's a melting pot point. Though, I prefer a quilted tapestry to a melting pot for a metaphor for the Country.
A quilt is for a home and for warmth.
A melting pot spells smells of disintegration.
Word choice matters.
And so I write.
...
The Sun's up, a mud-season preview in January.
Passenger planes billow smoke, jet-stream synthetic clouds through a clear blue sky.
Make something good for your life today.
Find Hope and use it as your motivating force the way heroes do.
I'm through with the AI picture exercise. The point's been made. AI, image or not, is a collaborative translation of human memory stored online.
Catalog advice from history.
Being alive is all about right now; Artificial Intelligence is all about the past.
There's no hope in AI, there's nothing new.
These days I'm all about Hope.
Thanks for reading, take care, and make wonderful this wonderful day.

This is Poet's Work
2026.01.09
Friday, January 09, 2026
Good morning, The Wonderfell Way.
The half-moon Cheshire Cats its smile to signal dawn is still awhile away.
What's it worth to you? Reading Wonderfell, reading anything at all?
There's no sales pitch here, nothing to buy. Wonderfell, this journal, will always be free.
A Faith Esperanza James Campaign Speech:
"My Country, America, has put money over morality in means of economic and social importance for too long and we're starting to pay the price for it.
There's nothing wrong with money, but there's nothing right with it either. It's value is an act of faith.
Most of what's called cash these days is just some arbitrary number blips in cyberspace.
Your true value, as far as Life is concerned, and therefore as far as your well-being is concerned, is based on your contributions to the well-being of Life itself.
Your worth is in your relationships.
The more we value money as a purely mathematical exercise the further our quality of Life declines.
Turn on The News for evidence.
When we start caring about each other again, start valuing Life as more than a numbers game again, our Nation will heal.
Your life can only ever be as good as the relationships in your life.
Not just with people, but with all things.
How's your cup of coffee or tea? Getting along all right? Your sentiments for your morning cup are a part of its sustenance for you.
Really.
The world is full of quietly desperate millionaires wanting something more, something else. Do they enjoy their cup of coffee or tea in the morning? Most likely its taken for granted and barely tasted at all.
The things in your life are only worth how much value you put into them.
This is poet's work; this is what's been lacking. Money is supposed to be emblematic of value: not value itself.
Surely your grade school teacher is worth more to our Country than a Wall Street Broker.
Our money is failing our morality and so... The News of the Day, lately.
But money and morality add up.
America is at a moral tipping point.
A Nation of laws cannot endure with criminals at the wheel.
Are you ready to give up on America?
If you're quiet right now you are.
The ship is sinking. Money is attempting to buy the Law.
Is it for sale?
Are We a Nation of values or a Bank account?
Hundreds of years ago there was an essay entitled, Common Sense, that inspired a Nation to do the right thing.
Here's a speech entitled, Common Decency, set to do the same.
Morality, not money, makes a Nation Great... again, or at all."
...🐲...
The Epic and more Side-Stories Here.
Thanks for reading, do the right thing, say something, and make wonderful this wonderful day.
