SANDY HOOK ELEMENTARY, A POEM
My consistent readers,
My mind has been in a whirl since the shootings at Sandy Hook Elementary.
I cannot imagine the thoughts going through the tiny children’s heads as they waited to be slaughtered.
I grieve for those little lost souls and for their parents.
For what it is worth, I wrote this poem.
SUFFER THE ANGELS
The devil entered
And twenty angels
Destined for grace
Were slaughtered.
The devil entered
And twenty angels
Destined full lives
Were gone.
The devil entered
And still we doubt
The strength
Of the devil’s tool.
Until we know the devil
And the strength his tool possesses,
More angels await his calling,
We are all the devil’s work.
GONE TOO SOON
My consistent readers,
My sister died last year.
Today is her birthday.
For Judy
We spend our time
Do what we do
And then depart.

UPDATE
My consistent readers,
For those who follow my blog, you know that this was the year from hell for me.
I just thought I’d share this thought.
I stared at death,
And did not blink.
HAPPY NEW YEAR
HAPPY NEW YEAR 2013
My dearest friends,
This is not a piece about resolutions. For resolutions are about what we would like to be, but we are who we are.
This is about what I hope to accomplish in the future.
I have two novels that I want to publish along with a host of short stories.
I have ideas for more novels and stories I want to pursuer.
I also have a radio interview coming up this month. I’ll keep you informed about it and a possible link to my blog.
Most importantly, I want to thank those of you that follow my blog. May you have a safe and prosperous year.
Love,
Walt
SPACE; THE ULTIMATE FRONTIER
THE ULTIMATE ROAD TRIP
GO CURIOSITY
If you are interested in space science at all you are definitely aware of the landing of Curiosity on Mars. For the landing of this rover the artist’s concept appeared like something that might be the cover of a pulp science fiction publication.
AND IT WORKED.
With the platform, with thrusters firing, hovered over the Martian landscape and lowered Curiosity to a soft landing. Imagine that happening in your back yard, a craft coming from another planet.
As I assume you know by now, I write science fiction. My mind immediately engaged in the ‘what if mode.’ As a writer, it is your obligation to also be a reader. I am currently reading a novel, accelerando, by Charles Stross. It is a fantastic read and I encourage all science fiction readers to read it. The author deals with the advancement of post humans and The Singularity. The concepts in this novel are fantastic and I will talk about them in the future.
I also have another book, The Singularity Is Near, by Ray Kurzweil. This is a work of nonfiction and deals with the mating of computer technology and mankind. This is another book which I will discuss in the future.
But now to my ‘what if’ moment. I can imagine Mars covered with cells below the surface, ether one cell deep or millions deep, it doesn’t matter. What if Mars is one massive intelligence? If you read the books I have mentioned, you will gain a concept of post humans and The Singularity.
My readers, I hope this opens an appreciation of science and a desire to read science fiction.
