Onomatopoeia
For those who never learned or perhaps have forgotten, onomatopoeia, in addition to being one of the most misspelled words in the English language, are words that are intended to convey noises or sounds. Think pow or ka-pow from the Batman comic books of old. The existence of onomatopoeia reminds us that in any exclusively visual medium such as writing, whether it be text only or illustrated like comic books or graphic novels, there are very few ways to convey the sound a thing makes. Essentially there is analogy to something else that makes a similar sound, perhaps physical/bodily reactions, and onomatopoeia. I am leaving out formalized systems of representing sounds like musical notes because they are only understood by a small subset of people and are generally only applied to specific types of sounds (i.e. musical sounds). None of those options does a very good job in my estimation and together they illustrate just how difficult it is to translate a sound into words or any other visual format in a way that truly captures the essence of it. The difficulty ultimately springs from the fact that all of those options for describing a sound, rely on a different sense, vision, to interpret. If one examines the other senses it quickly becomes clear that translation between any one of them to any other suffers from similar problems though the degree of difficulty varies with the diversity of language that has been developed to describe the particular sense in question. For example, for myself at least, it is easier, though still not easy, to describe how something tastes then how something sounds. This is primarily because many more words are available to describe the taste of a thing than the sound of a thing. That is interesting in its own right, but it becomes even more interesting when one realizes that words are also the only way to convey sight in an exclusively auditory medium. In that case the words must be spoken or written in a form that can be interpreted by another of the senses, like braille. In addition, words are the only option to convey taste in an exclusively taste based medium, if there were such a thing. The same of course goes for touch. In fact it is the case that it is not possible to describe any sense experience to another person (and maybe not even to oneself) without language and words.

Turning Setbacks into Stepping Stones
Failure is an inevitable part of life and growth. However, many people internalize setbacks, attributing them primarily to personal shortcomings while overlooking external factors. This tendency, known as the setback effect, distorts our understanding of failure and sets us up for repeated disappointments. By broadening our perspective to consider both internal and external causes of failure, we can mitigate the setback effect and remain steadfast in our pursuit of success.

On letting go
On letting go I am the heaven and the earth, the life and death, of existence and wandering in the magnanimous horizons of heavenly amour, I am love and I am light. Of all the endearments of life, I choose to be liberated. What does eternal and absolute liberation mean, does it mean galloping in the chaos with unadulterated joy and not being attached to the situational stance of impermanence. Or does it mean not being held captive by the dungeons of our own mind, of meeting every new space, entity, time, person and circumstance with the newness of infancy? How do we define a life well lived, an existence strided with unleashed and unparalleled love of what we are in every stance of our time spent on this mortal earth? I guess no one can answer that. The question lies in the subjectivity of the dearth of pain and the depths of the learnings that one’s life strides them through. In every breath that we take, in every commotion we indulge and in every space that confines us with another individual, life enamors a myriad of choices that consciously or subconsciously embrace that leads us to the life we live.

Rose's Journal
May 15, 1940 Today, a deep anger awoke, a call to break away from merely represent a décor at my spouse’s arm. Sun seeped through our plush drapes, yet shadows clung to my desk where words took form under my pen. On roads, banners of Thomas Dewey were hung, the face of a man who advocates for change. My peers mocked, for them a woman’s realm stuck to home, to afternoon teas, not to places where futures are shaped.

No, No, Nonet
Introduction This is just a piece on my attitude to the current Vocal Breakup Nonet Challenge. People may come in thinking it is another Nonet, but they will be doubly disappointed because it's not a poem, and it's written by me (no I know that is a plus).
