Optimism
The Puzzle Pieces Are Easy
2025.09.02
Tuesday, September 02, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
How's the day? O/
Cloudy with a chance of miracles.
That's a forecast to wake up to.
Hope all's well.
On with our show...
...
A good day to shuffle through some older work and place some on the site.
There's so much content on Wonder Fell already, and it's not all I write.
There's something new in the air, a positive feel.
Like you've been working on a puzzle for years and now there's only a few pieces left.
Each piece goes in easy, finds its way where it fits.
The process is simple now because it wasn't for so long.
Your hard work is paying off.
Hope you have something like that in your life.
Something you've worked on for sometime and it's all coming together now.
If not, start. And keep it going. Have a beautiful dream and build it.
The purpose of Life: To have beautiful dreams and make them real.
Now you know what life is for what will you do?
Take a time out. Dream on purpose. What do you really want?
The answer is not money. That's just a tool.
If you won a billion dollars and every person in the world disappeared at the same time, where would you be? What would you have?
Nothing of any value.
It's about people and relationships, never about money itself.
Build stronger relationships and money takes care of itself.
Do what you love. Surround yourself with people who love that you do. That's a good life.
Something in the air today, the puzzle pieces are easy.
And it's about time.
Thank you, again, for reading. I hope you find some peace and inspiration and comfort here.
Take care, dream something simple and beautiful, build it, and make wonderful this wonderful day.

A Loud Quiet
2025.08.19
Tuesday, August 19, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Dark and cloudy electric fishbowl blue water blue... in case you wanted to know the color of the just start of the sunrise sky.
Hello, again. O/
Hope you're well living your dream.
Here we go.
On with our show...
...
Find what you love to do and build your life around doing it.
Make everything in your life serve and support doing what you love.
That's the best goal for a best life.
What do you love to do?
Who and what best helps you do that?
Surround yourself with them.
Writing is my better than cup of coffee or tea.
It's me being my best me.
So there's a lot of solitude, a lot of quiet.
It's a loud quiet when your imagination speaks in volumes, though.
That's the writing life.
I know there's at least one thing you love to do worth building your days around.
Find it.
Recognize it by the feeling that while you're immersed in it you don't feel like you should be doing anything else.
It feels right.
The more love you put into your work the more love will come back from your work.
Not optimism, the way things work.
I hope you enjoy the site.
There's not much else like it online, I realize.
There's no spectacle here, no flash other than the screen lights needed to show the pixels to show the words (and fun AI pics).
But your life is for moments, not spectacles.
I hope you find some moments of reflection, some time for yourself, here.
If you should stop reading, daydream about your life now, where it is, where you'd like it to be... that's okay.
In fact, all puns always intended, I'll consider it a win.
Take care, take time to dream, and make wonderful this wonderful day.

The Nouns of Our Lives
2025.08.12
Tuesday, August 12, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Summer. Heat. O/
At it again.
The final day of another heatwave today.
Hope you're staying your cool self.
Hope all's well.
On with our show...
...
Did you find what you were looking for?
Good news is if you committed to find it you know exactly where it is.
The Last Place You Look.
"Optimistic as ever this morning, Ghos+?"
-Astute Reader
Nah, it's not optimism with me; it's experience.
Been there, done that, killed in a car crash came back to life, fought most my adult life for remission, won, got the T-shirt screen-printed: "This ain't just gratitude, it's experience."
There are better times and places to write about myself, though.
I do know a lot on the subject.
There's a lot to say.
But Wonder Fell is for The Sunrise and what Today can be about, not what Yesterday was.
On with the show...
...
What is today about?
A good question to ask with your cup of something hot to start the day.
How about Good News?
It's here.
It's not a myth.
Though myths are real, too.
The World seems technologically dark.
We can sit in the dark, curse it, or we can wake up, light a candle and call it the sunrise.
As long as there are people who value Life, who know life is worth something good, what's good has a chance to be.
It's choice.
Do you shine your cellphone flashlight, or do you curse the dark in the dark?
Wonder Fell says: Light 'em up! There's Life alive worth living.
Look!
It comes down to the relationships with the nouns in our lives.
People, places, and things, and your conversation with each.
What you dream of a thing is that thing for you.
Your thoughts and feelings of your friend when they're not with you is, for you, what they are.
Your dreams of what is in your life defines what's possible in your life.
Don't like your day?
Imagine it some other way.
What does an ideal friend look like in your dreams?
Do your friends look that way?
If yes, thank them.
If no, best stop lying to yourself and get some actual friends.
What about Love?
"Yeah, poet, what about Love?"
- A Favorite Wonder Fell Reader
Even for an American Poet Love is our cup of tea.
Now, how to get my Country to drink it?
Your dream of Love... if your partner isn't living up to it, you best talk to them right away.
Let them know your expectations and be ready to hear theirs.
You grow dreams together, that's what a loving relationship is all about; a place to share and grow dreams...
...

Still gentlemanly as ever with her.
Thank you for reading, take care, reimagine your life one relationship at a time, and make wonderful this wonderful day.

You're a Hero There
2025.08.09
Saturday, August 09, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Welcome back. O/
First time here?
Read it again so you can be welcomed back. ^
Hello, again. O/
Calm, quaint sunrise in New England, a cool Summer Saturday.
Hope you're up to something cool.
Hope all's well.
On with our show...
...
Do you ever wonder what your dog dreams?
They do, you know.
I bet you're in your dog's dreams.
It's quite the responsibility.
You're a hero there, you know.
Maybe it's time for some self-reflection, maybe pull yourself together... you hero of a dog's dream!
Your dog doesn't have an Internet Connection. How do they know so much about you?
It's your smell; you stink your certain stink.
That's a complement from a dog.
To be the hero in anyone's dream, to be recognized for your value like that... wow.
The point is you matter more than any point and click existence can show.
Your dog knows it. Your best friend knows it.
Today is a good day for you to know it, too.
"Why all the inspirational thoughts, Wynn? Why the good cheer?"
- Inquisitive Sometimes Jaded Reader
Because my life was an exercise in overcoming Hell.
I won.
For me, it's important that it means something more than just survival.
Writing is my gift.
I found and made ways everyday to overcome what's worst about the world.
I can share those sentiments in sentences.
So I do.
They can be of service to you if you let them.
I hope you let them.
Your dream of yourself is the most important thing you have. It determines your value to the world.
Sit, maybe go for a drive with the windows down, get to know you and how you dream about you, then share that dream with the world.
Call it your Life.
It's not optimism, it's the way Life works.
You're not your body, you're what makes your body move.
Soul, spirit, life alive. This precious wonderful gift given to you, that is you. It's called a soul.
Science makes it awkward to talk about, but Science has no purpose without it.
It's beyond numerical measure, it's what makes numbers and countable things.
You have a piece of Life you get to define.
It's called the dream you have of yourself.
Shape it, be it on purpose.
Then shape yourself and the world to its purpose.
Thank you for reading.
Take care, get quiet, know your dream of you, then get out there and live it... one wonderful moment at a time, and make wonderful this wonderful day.

It's Not a Secret
2025.08.06
Wednesday, August 06, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Welcome back. O/
At it again.
Cloudy, cool, the steady stream of the morning traffic commute from the freeway.
Hope all's well.
On with our show...
...
There's something new.
It deserves a question mark or a hopeful exclamation.
Is it that thing you've been waiting for so long you forgot you were waiting for?
You ordered something wonderful online, the most wonderful thing!
The shipping time on it was: Takes as long as it takes to arrive.
The cost?
Your time.
It's your dream, any and every dream you have.
You invest in it.
As long as you commit, it has to show up eventually.
The only way to ever lose is to stop.
Start to work on your best loved dream and keep it going.
Sounds like a life plan to me.
Find the dreams that inspire you best and commit to them.
Once you dedicate yourself to a dream Life helps you out.
"Dream on, this dream is on!"
- Reader with the Right Idea
It's not a secret; achievers know.
The World assists dedicated dreamers.
It's how The World literally, actually, really truly works.
Stay true to your dreams, take care and make wonderful this wonderful day.

Reasons Unspoken
2025.07.29
Tuesday, July 29, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Hi. O/
Welcome back.
Whatever good morning salutation that gets you glad to be here... have it.
Hope all's well.
On with our show...
...
Summer... even for Summer has been hot this year.
Even Abe appreciates the AC.
Slow words to rise morning again.
I do hope this journal offers you some peace.
I do hope it's a reminder you're more than checklists done.
Spectacles don't make the world go 'round.
A patient persistent feeling that life matters does.
Life matters for reasons unspoken.
And I know they're joyful ones.
I know for no measurable reason Abe sometimes wakes up from a nap, walks outside, spots a toy and runs!
And runs!
Circle, circle, tosses the toy in the air, catches it, or drops it... but picks it up again and runs!
Again!
Life is worth so much more than we remind ourselves it is.
Worth more than spectacle News Flashes.
I'm not alone knowing this. I just choose to share it.
That Life has an intrinsic value, that our moments mean more than we know, that wonder and a grateful humility to be alive.. to have Life!... ought to quietly accompany our moments.
At least be brought to our awareness now and then.
O/
When we take a moment to remember we're alive our whole life grows towards improvement.
There's this Great Dream, this Great Story, called Life, and you are an active part of it.
You are the director and actor of your own story in this Great Story called Life.
I know from years of witness and wonder The Great Story called Life is not a tragedy.
I know my dog at times for no reason at all grabs a toy and runs and dances and plays.
I know that his no reason at all is his insistence on joy.
That we can feel joy, that we can feel good, means we should.
Because we have the opportunity to feel good means good exists, means something immeasurable is here, some great purpose we all share but feel mathematically inadequate to discuss.
I'm discussing it.
It's what poetry and poets are for...
All that Science leaves behind.
Everything your cellphone AI existence can't bring you is my life's work.
Joy! Wonder! Life alive!
And Love! Don't forget Love.
We measure these things with words, with art, with moments of wonder.
Take care, spot your metaphorical squeaky toy, share your joy, and make wonderful this wonderful day.
+he Ghos+
You Want a Good Day?
2025.07.28
Monday, July 28, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Spectacle, spectacle who's got the chill?
Deep breath, deep thought, enjoy the moment, that's the way to feel.
How ya been? O/
The world's still a pretty good place.
Ready to see it yet?
Start with the sky.
Blue. Punto. Period. Blue sky today. Summer.
Robin on a chain-link fence says: Good day.
Hope all's well.
On with our show...
...
You...
That good news you have... you've had it so long.
Did you forget?
Time to remember it.
And share it.
Really.
Remember one good thing about life today and emphasize it.
Did you think the world was just going to heal itself?
It starts with you, Boo.
Something to be grateful for is always something good.
Start there.
Thank you for reading.
...
A slight breeze today keeps hot weather warm.
A clear blue sky makes seeing in sunlight clear.
Today wants to inspire.
I write the sunrise and today the Sun is set on raising spirits.
I do hope you're well and being kind to yourself.
Funny thing about being kind to yourself... it means building a kind environment around you to do that.
We have to take care of what's around us to best take care of ourselves.
Do one thing to help set up the world around you to be kinder to you today.
This isn't positive self-help mumbo-jumbo.
It's good common sense.
If the thermostat is set to fifty degrees and you're cold in the wintertime, go turn it up to a comfortable temperature.
You can do this for your whole life.
Some metaphorical thermostats take longer to change than others, some take longer to adjust the air quality.
But they always do.
The idea is that you make sure your life is taking care of you by taking care of your life.
You want a good day?
Surround yourself with what does you good.
Simple.
This includes thoughts and dreams.
Want nicer things?
Start with nicer thoughts and dreams.
Thoughts and dreams bring things.
Take care, do one thing, think one thing, dream one thing to make your life a better place, and make wonderful this wonderful day.

Some Would Rather...

Wednesday, July 23, 2025
Good morning, The Wonder Fell Way.
Welcome back. O/
Sun's up.
Soft light on cool earth.
Freeway traffic zip-zaps its own wind.
How's your day?
Hope it meets your expectations.
Hope you expect miracles.
Here we go.
On with our show...
...
Where to begin and why?
Always a good idea to have your 'why' in mind when you do anything.
Knowing your why for what you do tells you the kind of person you're being.
Want to change?
Want to grow?
Get wise and change your whys.
If you don't know your why then your why is: "Somebody else thinks it's a good way for me to spend my time."
Better to follow your own dreams.
"To see my dream come true." - An Excellent Why
A dream is more than a desire.
...
Life is a great grand story shared with us that we share.
Life is a story of stuff.
Stuff that works in certain reliable ways we call Science.
"What do I do with all this stuff? How can I best arrange all this stuff to best serve this dream? How can I best live this story called me?"
-Full of Helpful Questions Reader
Find what you love to do and build your life around it.
Making money is just an exercise in misery management if you don't.
Not everyone wants to be a superstar billionaire.
Some want a wonderful family more than another mansion.
Some would rather teach music than perform it.
Some would rather build a video game than play one.
Some would rather gather friends and cheer from the stands than throw or catch any ball at all.
Some would rather craft beautiful simple sincere sentences to say unsaid things to help us all see wonder where we just used to wonder what was going on.
Some would rather write words to lift spirits with each sunrise. O/
Take care, serve what you love, love what you serve, be served love, and make wonderful this wonderful day.
