I am of and on the cloud. Everything in the universe is so. Come with me if you wish. The cloud is sentient, please do not chew at its edges to see if it tastes of candy floss. It will turn thunderous and rain down in torrents upon your bonfire. This is a peaceful place to lounge and day-dream whilst floating in the ether, but darkness exists here too. One only knows how bright the sun is by experiencing the pitch blackness of the night.
At times I shall chronicle the fragments of that which is, was, and shall be perhaps, here, in this space, for they come to me at will, some never to return, others that repeat, looping like some eternal visual stutter, scratching at my corneas behind closed lids. The cloud counsels me, and asseverates it shall be most useful to do so in time. To whom, or why I know not. Most of that which flickers is a mystery to me, I am unfamiliar with the accents and landscapes. The behaviour of the beings that unravels before me often defies reason, scenes and stories lie unresolved, often with no beginning and no conclusive ending either, and I am limited in my understanding of this vast data base of strange entities and frightening emotions. It is of no matter. The cloud will absorb. Perhaps others will recognise themselves in the clouds reflection. Perception is all.

She whose eyes were made of sea glass was, as it turned out, a premature conception. Something was wrong in Kansas. I blame a ‘cloud’ of dust myself. An executive decision had to be made as the cloud and myself disagreed on the matter. It shall not be made public who made this landmark choice in the end to protect their identity (not very well).
There is every chance she may return.

Once upon a whim, there were two kings, both vegetarian and they both enjoyed eating cabbages, cabbages good and fair to eat, some green,some red,some blue, but by far there most favored cabbages of all were the winged cabbages who could soar through the air like birds do, but these soaring cabbages the two kings didn’t eat because well, they were too much like birds! But oh,how the kings loved to watch the winged cabbages fly while the kings enjoyed grand feasts of cabbages green,red and blue!And one day a cloud passing by saw the winged cabbages flying around and came to see the two kings… but what happened next I am not entirely sure,I only know it was a happy introduction and that this was written on a whim on a cloud.

In the spirit of Easter, I would like to wish you, albeit belatedly, “Joyeuses Pâques!”
Did you manage to enjoy a lovely Easter weekend and do something special or unusual? Apart from blogging, I wonder whether you have taken the chance to make some lovely things or read some unusual articles. Perhaps you have baked or consumed some lovely Easter cakes and cooked some Easter meals. Did you have the pleasure of visiting some interesting places?
Speaking of what I have got myself occupied in, I have stayed up till very late in the last few days to complete some new graphics and eye-catching animations plus more pertinent information for my special Easter post entitled “Easter in Modern Multimedia Perspective“, which you can easily find at the Home Page of my blog, as it is currently the Featured Post. You can also access the post directly at http://soundeagle.wordpress.com/2015/04/11/easter-in-modern-multimedia-perspective/
You are very welcome to peruse the extended and updated post at your earliest convenience. I would be delighted if you could kindly submit your feedback to my said post, as I am very keen and curious to know what you think or make of it.
I would like to inform you that these animations will only be visible when you visit my blog and view its contents in situ. Hence, it is prudent to refrain from viewing my blog in the WordPress Reader, which tends to ignore or strip away some styling and formatting components, and also fails to display animations, all of which are aplenty in my posts and pages, which will look very different and even improper or amiss in the WordPress Reader.
In particular, scroll down to the end of my said post entitled “Easter in Modern Multimedia Perspective” to watch the complex animations under the heading “Related Articles 📰 with Animations“. Please enjoy!
May you find April very much to your liking and highly conducive to your writing, reading, thinking and blogging about whatever topics that take your intellectual fancy, seduce your gustatory pleasure or tickle your spiritual delight!
Yours sincerely,

And many happy returns of a bunny and sunny nature to you too sir! I haven’t been anywhere as I’ve been isolating for what was a year at the end of March due to certain factors beyond my control, however, the garden has been my sanctuary, and I’ve been working hard and reaping the rewards from said toil physically, mentally and possibly spiritually. I know many of the woodlice and worms by sight and we have discussed the world and its perplexing ways, they agree with me for the most part though reckon things might take a turn for the best if the whole of the human race were decimated, desiccated — done and dusted. Which is fair enough under the circumstances. I don’t celebrate Easter personally and indeed only know it occurs when other people mention it. I was brought up in a somewhat strange cult that was very keen on the matter mind you so know a fair amount. Your post is most certainly a joyous fanfare for the occasion, thank you for the linkage. I celebrate Spring itself which was going on long before any chocolate bunnies or the living dead and the like, but it is a beautiful time to celebrate anything say I. Many thanks for the effort put in both here and at your gaff. If anyone reading this enjoys Easter do visit SoundEagle’s page, you’ll enjoy it very much.

Dear Esme,
It seems that we each have a green thumb! Speaking of botany and gardening, I have been a keen gardener, and would like to inform you of my four horticulture websites containing a great deal of information available to you as follows, considering that your garden has been a sanctuary to you “physically, mentally and possibly spiritually”.
Simply append the usual dot wordpress dot com to the end of the following words to visit the corresponding websites:
queenslandorchid
queenslandbegonia
pottedplantsociety
rhsq
Please enjoy the websites to your heart’s content!
By the way, I have improved and expanded my special Easter post entitled “Easter in Modern Multimedia Perspective” even more. There are some surprises awaiting you there!
Since I have visited, enjoyed and commented copiously on your “About” page, I would also like to welcome you to my “About” page at https://soundeagle.wordpress.com/about/
This “About” page has recently been given a dramatic facelift plus plenty of eye-catching animations. See you there!

I asseverate‡ that this is a truly wondrous ‘about page’, Esme. (I’m a tad surprised that it would appear this is the first time I’ve visited it.)
‡ Thank you for teaching me a new word today. Don’t think I’ve ever seen that one before!

What a wonderful site! I bookmarked it immediately. And I shall have to have words with Mr Chrisomalis, as ‘phlyarologist’ does not appear in his list 😉
