While you’ve moved to different space and a more personal commentary with “Riding on Dragons,” it’s clear that the warmth, connectedness, and downright brilliance of “Come Gather Round” is still a continuing thread in your work and presence. I love coming here for the disarming way you share your insights, Dick. And I really enjoy that notion that we are all riding our dragons — the fact that you have acknowledged your readers in this post is a beautiful example of that.
Have you seen the “children’s book” (I wish I could remember the name and I can’t find it on Amazon) about the boy who is an outcast from his own village who must conquer a dragon? He runs away to another village where he finds people are terrified of a dragon that lives on a nearby mountain. In order to prove his worth he decides he must climb the mountain and conquer the dragon. He is frightened at first, but as he climbs he notices something strange about the dragon’s awesome fiery bellow. Oddly, the closer he gets to the dragon, the smaller the dragon’s power seems to be. In the end he returns to the village triumphant, with an affectionate small beast just large enough to heat a tea kettle.
Here’s to many shared cups of tea!
Thanks Dan. I especially like being called “disarming.” That’s a nice thing to be (unless, of course, people want to be armed).
The book you mention doesn’t seem familiar but the story does resonate–”the closer he gets to the dragon, the smaller the dragon’s power seems to be.” Let us know if you run across it.
Thank you, Dick. I feel proud and humbled at the same time to find my name listed alongside such great achievers. My little blog is little esle but the story of a romance.
Through you, I’ve discovered some great thoughts – yours and those of the people you have mentioned in your writing.
Thank you, guru-ji!
Dear Dick, there’s something about you and your writing that keeps me coming back – I think it is the honesty and the spirit and the humbleness with which you express your thoughts. It is your heart. Thank you for putting me on this list, it is an honor to know you.
Geetali — “The story of a romance” can be a great story, and you tell yours very, very well.
Rinatta — “…the honesty and the spirit and the humbleness…” Thanks for that Rinatta. I try. In particular, I don’t seem to be hard-wired for humility, so I’m thrilled when my efforts at it are recognized.
I was very happy when you reemerged into the blogosphere, Dick. You write about things that I care about. And you bring yourself and your honesty to your writing. When I come to your blog, I feel like I’m coming home . . . in the sense that my spirit feels connected to your spirit.
It’s great to be a part of your circle. We are all small “specks” in the cosmos . . . and know that size cannot change that you matter.
Deb,
“…I feel like I’m coming home…”
Welcome!

Many thanks, Dick!
I really appreciate that you’ve recommended my blog,
and am honoured to be mentioned among so many Lovely others!

Dick – I was delighted to talk about your re-emergence. You’re the like the Phoenix, rising up from the ashes, to help us all be smarter and more engaging. I like your more conversational style and always read whatever you write with great interest.
More pictures is fun too
Looking forward to meeting you LIVE someday in the not-too-distant future!
Many thanks Phil! I like the Phoenix metaphor. It had great meaning for me even before I actually moved to Phoenix.
