Dreamers Know This
Change your stories and you change your life.
Thursday, April 30, 2026
Good morning, Twfw. O/
Here's the rub: A magnetic tipped stylus on an E-ink screen.
Where I write (rub) these journal entries.
Daydreamers of The World, Keepers of Hope for a better life, a better day... you're not alone.
It's why I keep my morning thoughts online and free: Because the best way to make the best World is to encourage and support Dreamers.
Whether you dream of some great technology to help The World, or a great Artistic expression to enrich the quality of all our lives, you're welcome here.
There's another World; it exists with this one. We call it The Imagination.
Daydreamers you're not lost or spaced-out. You're working gathering materials for your creations.
Some Scientists roll their empirical eyes when Imagination is brought up. But what's found there is what makes eyes roll.
Dreamers know this: Change your stories and you change your life.
...
Rain gives way to cloudy skies. The last day of April, green buds bountiful grassy patches of ground.
All around Life springs eternal in this great dance aptly named Spring.
The World's choreography is a wonderful staged show of color. Life is too well organized to be accidental. Remember that next time you look in a mirror.
Beauty is in the beholder's eye, so hold it and be it.
Nothing in The World can be beautiful without someone to recognize, record, and witness it.
Might as well be you and me. O/

For All Our Health
Getting The United States to read poetry right now is like trying to get your stubborn Great Grandfather to take his medicine.
Wednesday, April 29, 2026
Good morning, Twfw. O/
Poetic idiosyncratic words in the time of AI?
They're our only hope.
Each and every human being is a unique Large Language Model designed to express their witness of Life.
There's more to Life than facts; there's the creation of facts.
...
Modern dreams at sunrise while a woodpecker hammers an oak.
Even songbirds have a percussion section.
Slow morning words lately, thoughts of business, my work's place in the world, how best to serve it.
Where? And when?
Some self-awareness with humility always in mind: America hasn't had a poet like me for decades, hasn't had a male poet like me for nearly a century in our popular culture tapestry.
Getting The United States to read poetry right now is like trying to get your stubborn Great Grandfather to take his medicine.
Hey old timer. O/ We're a Nation built on Words. Maybe the language being thrown around is the reason for the collapse?
Here's some language for all our health.
...
Cloud cover makes for a subdued sunrise. A subtle dawn, the game's still on.
Thanks for reading, Dear Reader.
Your consideration means The World to me. I hope some inspiration finds you today. I hope more that you find the good sense to put it to good use and share it.
The World could use your wonderful witness shared.

The World in Words
The Internet is The World in Words.
Tuesday, April 28, 2026
Good morning, Twfw. O/
Poets for millennia howled for The Moon; I sing the sunrise, write the dawn.
What a singer does for lyrics a poet does with sentences and stanzas.
...
Years ago humanity started texting more than talking. To a poet the experience is like being a professional singer when the whole untrained room starts to sing and screech arias.
Speaking brought to the level of Art is singing. Writing brought to the level of Art is poetry.
An untrained out of tune room full of people bellowing arias is the state of so much of The Internet these days.
How do we find harmony?
It's in why we use our words, what writing actually is, and our responsibility to it.
Our words are an extension of ourselves. The difference between the spoken word and the written is a matter of time.
A rude comment said makes the commenter an unsavory person to anyone within earshot.
A rude comment wrote makes the writer foul every time it's read.
Accountability. We pay and are paid for our words every time they're read.
We wonder why things aren't getting better while we continue to write about, and so share, awful things.
Every article, post, and text made to voice negativity answers our question. They add up; they stack up.
The Internet is The World in Words.
What do you add to our shared literary Life with your sentences?
I urge you to consider bringing more positivity to The World Stage, for your own sake, and all you care about.
Life, for people, is at least a two-fold experience. There's a word and there's the experience of the word. But there are always words.
Caring for our language is caring for ourselves... and Life itself.
My concern is we forgot or were never told:
We can only ever be as successful as the definitions of our words.
Thanks for reading.

Just Some Guy's Journal
"Yup. Shh, I'm reading."
Monday, April 27, 2026
Good morning, Twfw. O/
"Just some guys journal."
-Non-Wonder Fell Reader
"Yup. Shh, I'm reading."
-Favorite Wonder Fell Reader
Really, they're just words with the dawn, poetic thoughts at daybreak.
Some of us are into deep-thought heavy imaginative space-out quests; some of us change The World with our dreams.
Dreams are like everything else in Nature: They take time to grow.
Daydreams are the most useful imaginings.
Go for a walk, take a bath, clean the dishes, look out the window at nothing particular. Times like these invite warm living Imagination.
I think it's secretly why runners enjoy jogging so much: Time to dream.
After you've trained for sometime, a jog is a quiet time alone with your dreams.
Athletes call it a runner's high. Artists call it: "This is what we've been talking about for centuries."
That runner's high place is the state Artists create from. Recognition of its importance helped us train ourselves to get there without massive physical effort.
Nothing wrong with going for a jog, though I think walking is better (in the long run).
Better for your overall well-being. Less physical stress leads to a better quality of dreams.
Thoughts with the sunrise.
Thanks for reading.

Daylight is a Bath of Fire
^ Something a Large Language Model didn't know.
Sunday, April 26, 2026
Good morning, Twfw. O/
Some big changes to Wonder Fell are in the works.
A rearrangement and redesign.
Business thoughts with the sunrise today.
I'd rather discuss the dark clouds on the horizon being engulfed by the lavender rays of dawn.
Though, being a poet, I suppose it is my business to do just that.
...
Just a poet's morning journal in a world adjusting to Artificial Intelligence to help us remember what words are for...
Making dreams come true.
The colors of dawn are as varied as the fire from a candle's wick. Sunshine speaks to us with a painter's palette of sparks and flame. Temperature is our star's favorite medium.
Daylight is a bath of fire.
^ Something a Large Language Model didn't know.
The World needs honest witness to grow.
The World needs Art.
...
Today's new; it wants thoughts of business.
So that's where I'll go.
Thanks for reading.
Go make something wonderful.
Stay tuned. Good changes on the way.

Quiet Considerations
The quiet consideration of people in quiet rooms is responsible for all the great ideas and accomplishments in the world.
Saturday, April 25, 2026
Good morning, Twfw. O/
With all the get-it-done-quick make it flashy, make it sell, look at me LOOK! ways so prolific in the world right now, I thought some might find interesting, and reassuring, to be reminded there are other ways to live a good life. So I post my morning journal online for free.
What a poet, or Artist of any kind, considers worthy of note things like AI and big business deals aren't much help with.
It's easy to forget with all the sensationalism that there are other valid ways to think about and live your life.
The quiet consideration of people in quiet rooms is responsible for all the great ideas and accomplishments in the world. It's where and how the most helpful and most beautiful creations come to life.
From: The quiet considerations of people most of the world assumes are lonely, but are busy at work using the solitude to help shape their dreams.
Life is the process of making dreams real. Great accomplishments require a great dream and dreamer to imagine them.
So Artists and Inventors must be alone and quiet to be fed supplies to do their work.
Think of Imagination like a prompt fed to AI. The more precise and in depth the information given the Large Language Model the better the reply received.
So an Artist, Inventor, Theoretical Physicist (Einstein sat and daydreamed for days), gets alone to gather the materials necessary to make real their dream.
Time spent 'idle' or 'doing nothing' is actually time spent gathering materials. As long as part of the day is spent making something real, idle time is always part of the work.
There is no AI without the initial dream that makes the prompt.
There is no work of Art without the initial dreaming to build the Art with.
Think of Imagination like potter's clay. The required amount is necessary to make the thing real.
I'll keep my journal online for free. At the very least, for a reminder to creative spirits that we aren't alone being alone in our work.
Hopefully you find some comfort here.
Thanks again for reading.

Consider It Shared
Mornings like this birds are brushstrokes on a painter's canvas called Dawn.
Friday, April 24, 2026
Good morning, Twfw. O/
Peace. The trees know it.
The buds and blooms of Spring show in the soft sunrise sky.
Mornings like this birds are brushstrokes on a painter's canvas called Dawn.
Beauty is in the eye of the beholder; so hold it, see it, relay it true.
The World is a work of Art to witness, emulate, and share.
To wield the dawn in words, to wrap the light in letters to rap a song of morning for you...
Today's sunrise is a dream worth waking up to. Even the sounds of every interstate car has their radio playing its favorite song.
...
Updated the site look yesterday to help navigation. There's so much content now.
I hope it brings some peace, inspiration, joy, and of course wonder to your life.
The World is a beautiful place when we're brave enough to recognize it and build our days around the Beauty.
Mornings like this want to share mornings like this.
Consider it shared.

You Pants The Plot
Harmony at last in The Writing World.
Thursday, April 23, 2026
Good morning, Twfw. O/
Robins sing the rhythm guitar part while a duet of black-capped chickadees cover the melody to announce the dawn.
Yesterday I removed the work-in-progress Epic Colore from Wonder Fell.
No worries. It's still going strong.
A work of the size and scope of it requires its own space.
I'll provide links on Wonder Fell once Colore's new home is set-up, running, and aesthetically presentable. (About a month later I brought it back. (Home Sweet Home.)
As Wonder Fell becomes more and more a place for Artists to gather alone, posts concerning the creation of The American Epic still have a welcomed place here.
I decided to treat Story, The Novel specifically, as a poetic form. It's a simpler way for this poet's brain to work.
The form and rhythm of a piece of writing, from a sentence to a thousand page tome, are a major part of the work's success.
Some things poets consider that most novelists don't.
...
Musicians do something called: Playing by ear. Writers call the same process: Pantsing, as in... writing by the seat of your pants.
Really. It's technical jargon in the professional world of writers. Two schools: The Pantsers and The Plotters.
Decades of experience shows the most successful way to go about writing anything is to have a general idea of the form (plot) and color it in (pants).
You pants the plot.
Harmony at last in The Writing World.
We tell ourselves the story idea, or write it down.
And then we Pants! 💃...👖
Thoughts on craft with industry jargon included this morning.
Language about what we love will always be the best use of the written word... of words at all.
Thanks for reading. Have that wonderful day already.
