I feel that life has been kind of gloomy lately. I noticed that the flags are at half mast and they seem to perpetually be that way.
So I found my favorite poem and I heard a new one today that I'm going to share with you all. Try to put some more joy in someone else's life. It's also Light the world! So do some service for someone else and help bring hope back into other people's lives. Here's the link for a explanation and prompt suggestions.
Good Timber by Douglas Malloch
SpoilerThe tree that never had to fight
For sun and sky and air and light,
But stood out in the open plain
And always got its share of rain,
Never became a forest king
But lived and died a scrubby thing.The man who never had to toil
To gain and farm his patch of soil,
Who never had to win his share
Of sun and sky and light and air,
Never became a manly man
But lived and died as he began.Good timber does not grow with ease:
The stronger wind, the stronger trees;
The further sky, the greater length;
The more the storm, the more the strength.
By sun and cold, by rain and snow,
In trees and men good timbers grow.Where thickest lies the forest growth,
We find the patriarchs of both.
And they hold counsel with the stars
Whose broken branches show the scars
Of many winds and much of strife.
This is the common law of life.A Builder Or a Wrecker by Charles Franklin Benvegar
SpoilerAs I watched them tear a building down
A gang of men in a busy town
With a ho-heave-ho, and a lusty yell
They swung a beam and the side wall fellI asked the foreman, “Are these men skilled,
And the men you’d hire if you wanted to build?”
He gave a laugh and said, “No, indeed,
Just common labor is all I need.”“I can easily wreck in a day or two,
What builders have taken years to do.”
And I thought to myself, as I went my way
Which of these roles have I tried to play'Am I a builder who works with care,
Measuring life by rule and square?
Am I shaping my work to a well-made plan
Patiently doing the best I can'Or am I a wrecker who walks to town
Content with the labor of tearing down?
“O Lord let my life and my labors be
That which will build for eternity!” -
I became part of a nonet today without knowing it!
I was choosen along with the other cellist and seven other students to be part of the nonet that's playing at the choir concert and christmas music at the staff party!
I am excited and also nervous.
Mostly nervous because I can't work on essays that day, but I should have most done by then.

QuoteYes, some chirstmas music and a fun piece that jumps into treble clef when it doesn't have to.
That part's hard, but I hopefully will be able to get it in a week and a half-ish.
That's so cool!
What's the piece?

I don't remember, I'll get back to you tomorrow when I've read it again.

I understand it's a joke, but in order to make it more accurate, wouldn't you have to say "One, zero" Instead of "Ten"?

God, the first time my dad tried to explain binary and rudimentary computer programming to me I think that's the first time I had a migraine. (I was about 10). Excellent joke, though. I think I'll go tell him it now.

Thank you! It probably would turn out to be tedious to tell this to everyone, but I celebrated my birthday four days ago, in the Hebrew Calendar date. Thanks nonetheless!

This is a really fun prompt generator.
Here's one that is made using dark and high fantasy
SpoilerYou rip the head off of your latest victim and feel the surge of warmth as the victim's soul is consumed by the dark magic that preserves you. But as always, the cold creeps back in as you hunger for yet another soul. You were once a warrior, a champion among men who defended your kingdom against the forces of evil. Injured during a great battle, you were taken back to the stronghold and told that you would never walk again. You accepted your fate, but your king would have none of it. He implored his court mage to cast a spell—any spell—that would grant his greatest warrior the ability to fight again. The mage went through his spell book, found something that would do as the king asked, and then tried to explain the consequences. Uninterested in the details, the king ordered the mage to begin the ritual. When the mage was done, you felt strong yet empty, as if you were just a husk of who you once were. Then the hunger set in and, in an instant, you ripped the king apart, quickly followed by the mage and anyone else who dared cross your path.

Writing Prompt #1,263
Many years ago, your house was stripped of title and land after the king accused your father of treason. To this day, your father swears innocence and argues that he was framed. The only reason he was not executed for his supposed crimes was because of his dedicated service to the nation and his longstanding friendship with the king. In addition, the king decreed that your house's connection to magic was to be permanently severed. Like many others houses of royalty, your family's powers derive from the kingdom's magical wellspring, which is a focal point of arcane energy. Without the kingdom's wellspring, your family has been forced to rely on labor and pure physicality to survive, and you all now live in a rundown crime-ridden village on the outskirts of the kingdom. One day, your father is badly injured when marauders from the neighboring empire raid your village. With the primary provider of your home bedridden, your family is on the brink of starvation. Now more than ever, you wish you had been born with your family's connection to magic, especially as you know you have the ability to wield it. In desperation, your father tells you the legend of an old mage who could reconnect you to your magical birthright and teach you the ways of wizardry.
