Ancient, Strange and Lovely

That’s the title of one of the Dragon Lady’s books.
We were married for a time and she presented me with the daughter I have come to view with awe.
Susan, the Dragon Lady, does not consider it her best novel for young adults but it was perfect for a read when I was stuck in my Condo over the holidays.
Dragon’s Milk
That was the first in the series. It began as an amusement while my daughter was being ferried home from preschool. A girl is told she needs Dragon’s milk to cure her ailing sister and agrees to baby sit three mischievous and always hungry draclings in exchange for the milk she needs while the mother dragon goes hunting.
It stayed in print long enough to become a generational item of passage for young women passed on by their mothers. It is still available as are the other two novels in the series.
The modern riff
By the time she came to this story, Kelly, my daughter, was a grown woman, working on her second PhD.-- this one was in Microbiology. Her explanations of what she was doing inspired her mother to write a modern tale that includes some of the wonders that microbes perform on the trash we humans leave behind. But it also gave her a chance to return to the ancient, strange and lovely world of Dragons.
It is our turn

What is that odd bit of knowledge that you can bring to the new normal?
Is there an idea that others will see as comely?
I’m looking forward.

1 年Thanks for this, Jerry Fletcher! This is what stuck out for me... "Search your past and future in the new year. Join me in continuing the enchantment of recollection, innovation, and vision linked to credibility." And this is me and how I've been playing with my past, present and future. I immediately went to "Let the juiciness of the past (the joys and the sorrows) flow through the present. Let the sweet, spicy and tartness of it all flavour a beautiful future." Thanks for the lovely mind-journey.
