This meditation brought to you by the letter "G"

[hobgoblinn]

penwiper26 gave me my choice of dark green letters: F, G or P, and I chose this one.

10 things I like about the letter G:

1. Green. Dark, rich, the color and scent of growing things and shadowed light through canopies of leaves. It's always been my favorite color.

2. Giles. Duh.

3. Google Documents. The absolutely coolest way to share writing drafts with betas. Color comments! Conversations! (Several people agreeing that a particular sentence does not work the way I think it does.....)

4. Ginger. The color and the spice. Gingersnaps, gingerbread, ginger tea. All Good Things.

5. Great Big Sea-- a group I've recently been introduced to. Several of the sample tracks have made it on to my "Cheer Up" playlist.

6. Grand Piano-- hearing the resonances and overtones from the strings, the echoes, retunes my soul sometimes.

7. Ghosts. Real and imagined. Read an old post about ghost stories here. Kind of appropriate given my recent tenyearsofbuffy ficathon entry.

8. Great and Generous writers on my flist. (Sincerely meant, but yes, I am starting to draw a blank here......)

9. Grace. And gratitude.

10. Goblins. Not the evil Tolkien ones, but the otherworldly faerie folk. Though Rosetti's "Goblin Market" is one of my favorite poems. But my favorite goblin is Puck. Well, second favorite. I do have a Wee Hobgoblinn with pointed ears, mischievous smile and an apalling tendency not to make it to school on time this week. That will be changing tonight.....

A good day to all,

Hob

I enjoy the list! Can anyone play this letter game? :)

Yeah. I just have to give you a letter. How about this-- take your pick of one of the other 2 green ones penwiper26 gave me: F or P.

Hurrah for the letter G! (I am picturing a painter painting a big "G" on the head of a bald man lying by a pool, as per Sesame Street)

And hurrah for the sharing of Great Big Sea love!

Big w00t! for Great Big Sea! They're awesome. I love "When I'm Up" and "Boston and St. John's." Also, yay for CanCon! :-D
