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."

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.

Since the Dawn of the Moon
2026.01.08
Thursday, January 08, 2026
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
There's Love, there's Life itself, there's every emotion known and more, there's the realm of all that Science cannot measure; there's the work of The Poet.
O/ How's your sunshine?
Are you a writer? Do you keep a journal?
You should.
Artists keep sketchbooks to practice their expressions through lines.
Writers should keep a journal to metaphorically do the same.
We draw with words; we write the sunshine.
Every shadow, shape, color and line expressed by an Artist is, for a writer, a potential placeholder for our craft.
But words do more than just mimic shapes in space.
There's a whole realm of wonderful in each of us.
Words are always the starting point for expressing what is alive in us, of what we are.
...
Sometimes, though rare, Wonder Fell goes personal. What compels someone to take on such a task?
Poets have neglected the sunrise since the dawn of the moon. But there's hope in every morning, another chance in every new ray of every new day.
More than that there's the power of words and how they're linked to identity.
We are responsible for every word we share, through breath, ink, or pixel light.
How easy text messaging and the Internet allows us to forget.
Your words are a part of you, ambassadors of who you are, always at work building your identity, your place in the World.
Illness and tragedy kept me from being able to share words in ways so many of us take for granted for so long.
Wonder Fell, personally speaking, is a way to share some of who I am with a World I was kept from for so much of my adult life.
Now that remission and beating death are out of the way, there's much I have to share... that I've wanted to for a very long time.
It's all good news; we could use some.
As always, thank you for reading. Please, if you find it helpful, stay and read some more.
With so many words, there's something for everyone here.
Take care and make wonderful this wonderful day.

Owning a Sense of Wonder
2026.01.07
Wednesday, January 07, 2026
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Welcome back. O/
More than a convention, it gets the gears going.
Wonder Fell's first line every morning.
The previous sentence is not a classic sentence.
There are many non-classical uses of grammar on the site.
It's a journal.
Journals and text messages allow more freedom in the world of syntax.
So does the profession of The Poet.
Somebody's gotta make the rules my Stuffy-Stuffy Grammar Gals.
Part of a Poet's Credo: Grammar is a canvas; not a prison.
"How's that work?"
-Interested Reader
Refer to your text messages for a more (ungrammatical) detailed explanation.
...
A conversation with humanity at sunrise.
Everyday.
Just a short, "Have some breakfast. Enjoy your day. Here's some things to wonder about... post,' for you.
Because owning a sense of wonder is integral to living a good life.
So many of us forgot or never knew it was an option.
We all have this thing called Life... we share it, but we also have our own.
The quality of every life is determined by the quality of its relationships.
How we get along with all things determines our well-being.
This means your friends, your partner, your business associates, your dog or cat, your car, even your toaster and the horizon at dawn.
...
Blue-light behind billowy clouds this morning.
Dawn shows like your best friend at midnight asked if you wanted to see the two month supply of ice cream they have in the walk-in freezer.
"Sure," you said.
As they opened the air-sealed door the lights came on, iridescent yellow and blue glowing clouds of steam around every flavor on every shelf.
What's your favorite flavor?
Pick it, enjoy, take care and make wonderful this wonderful day.

Have You Considered Them?
2026.01.06
Tuesday, January 06, 2026
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
How's the day? O/
Sun's up. All clear here.
Except the sky... a comfortable cloudy daydream.
...
Lots of memorable dreams last night.
Do you have sleep like that?
On occasion the images and stories while we sleep are worth remembering.
There's that understanding of the word remember... to put something back together.
Gather all the group's members and reassemble.
So much wonder already on the site regarding the power of dreams.
Have you considered them?
Sure you've considered breathing and your heart's beat a few times.
Dreaming is as necessary as both of those. It's purpose in your life is definitely worth your consideration.
The ability to dream and then express that dream is what makes us human. Everything else AI machines can do, but only if they're built from dreams first.
So how are your dreams awake and asleep?
Athletes and Artists both must visualize success at their work first if they're to be successful.
Visualization is daydreaming with a destination. The only way to have any kind of success in life and not visualize it first is if someone else's dream carries you along with them.
How we get along with someone ultimately comes down to how well our dreams of the relationship work together. All relationships work that way: friends, lovers, business associates.
What's Life all about in your dream of Life? Find people with similar notions and build a wonderful Life building those dreams.
Good day, good feel in the air today.
Hope all's well, Dear Reader. O/
Take care, consider your dreams, and make wonderful this wonderful day.
