I've sometimes thought of linking back to the post by way of explanation, but I don't care that much for the post really. I've rather moved on from the voice it was in, and it's blogging in part that's caused me to. <br /><br />It's a silly, irrelevant name really, but I'm fond of it. I actually like the shape of the words and the letters when I see them at the top of the blog, in a way that's divorced from what they represent, though I find I look out for box elder trees quite cheerfully.<br /><br />I may take you up on this one after all.Lucyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09764296105901909328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23008725.post-59575158378298203532009-12-05T16:27:03.180+00:002009-12-05T16:27:03.180+00:00Your words crackle with bright energy.Your words crackle with bright energy.Zhoenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03515663141425057088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23008725.post-41142187323042352662009-12-05T14:08:46.702+00:002009-12-05T14:08:46.702+00:00Wonderful and wistful!

I use this word as a term of endearment, initially for my children, but now for older people. I have absolutely no idea where I picked it up from.<br /><br />This is my attraction to this blog rather than your more Scottish blog. I like places where there ARE chickadees, however, in this case your writing is my chickadee.Juliehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09513648613788716017noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23008725.post-27484235960566047302009-12-03T00:40:33.417+00:002009-12-03T00:40:33.417+00:00What a lovely explanation !

I like the sound of the bird Chickadee!<br />And haha, I remember an old American teacher, standing at the harbour in Glückstadt, Germany, watching a boat pass by, and saying to himself, "I wonder if this boat will go to Punxsutawney...?" (That`s where he was from). Yes, I guess a bit of homesickness will never leave you.<br />Cheers from Usedom, Germany (my blog name explains itself).Angelahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06484336744673299416noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-23008725.post-75361202897626935252009-12-01T10:03:09.321+00:002009-12-01T10:03:09.321+00:00My goodness, Purest, your words are incredibly lus...My goodness, Purest, your words are incredibly lush. Even the word "sorrowful" is like a sparrow, just lovely. You evoke that sadness that is beautiful, and that is a gift. You express that something that happens when we move or in any way our lives change. We lose something, and even if we are happy, there is also a chasm where the thing was we lost.<br /><br />Now your blog name makes total sense, and I am very glad to know the story.<br /><br />Thank you so much for participating, especially since you went away!Ruthhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14204074161539605133noreply@blogger.com
