Grateful Bear 23:5
Here's a little meme for bloggers, from the blogs of Jon (The Wild Things of God) and Twyla (whimsical mystic):
1. Go into your archive.
2. Find your 23rd post (or closest to it).
3. Find the 5th sentence (or closest to it).
4. Post the text of the sentence in your blog along with these instructions.
My 23rd post was on January 30, 2005: Happy Birthday, Richard Brautigan. Brautigan is one of my favorite poets, a bohemian who bridged the beat generation and the hippie generation. The 5th sentence in my post about him was this:
Brautigan could mix together the absurd and the profound in a single poem, or in a single short prose-poem, which is what many of the chapters in his novels actually are. (I like to think my poem Gnostic Cat shows some of his influence.)
OK, those were the 5th and 6th sentences, but I couldn't very well omit the reference to my mystical cat, could I???

I loved your gnostic cat poem! (and the picture)
I remember that post. It's great fun to go down memory lane now and then!
My 23:5 is:
"You can't listen to Dust in the Wind on a "Harumph" kind of day."
That's hilarious.
Trev: Very true!
