Something Heard

 


When I sit and listen to people speak languages I do not understand I like to pretend that they are speaking magical words and talking about things that go beyond meaning, go beyond love, go beyond the constraints of my mere languages.

Now, I know the reality is you can listen to the words they’re saying, you can hear the repetition of common words, phrases and with modern technology even interpret and pretend to know. But I prefer to believe to give other people a chance to be—to be magical wonderful beings. But sometimes it is those moments that allow other people to be exactly who they are that require the most imagination.

About


What:

The Rusty Sage Brush is a blog that attempts to take life and experience it like a child full wonder, questions, curiosity and play (with a special emphasis on play): a metaphorical dancing in the rain. To this end there will be words and at times, even, sentences. These objects will be organized into stories, poems, lists, and essays.

All pictures and posts are original except where quotations and other obvious exemptions exist. Therefore, all rights/permissions belong to the author.

Who:

Currently, the voices are limited and do not have any critical, creative, or useful writing skills, but as this is being published on the internet the writer does feel a little overqualified. The person behind this blog is named James. He lives to write, chase sunsets, listen to the stories around him, fix old cars that nobody else wants, bake bread, and tell jokes that cause mass suffering but for those few seconds each day when he can be serious what he really wants is to help people find meaning, learn to play and approach each day with love.

When:

As of this time there is no determined schedule. But I do hope you enjoy the random postings I do make as I develop a more steady schedule.

Why:

The Rusty Sage Brush wants to be the metaphorical little boy stamping in a mud puddle introducing play into world. So, quite simply, because my shoes are not muddy enough yet and no one has said I have to go inside yet.

I hope you enjoy.

James
