Martini Moments… while Blog Navel Gazing

1. ^^^^ Oh Dear… A recent Google search on my domain name revealed this gem. Has Google released GMindReader and nobody told me? I’m afraid. Very afraid.

2. Being a control freak means that the transition to being Mistress of my Domain has been well worth the effort. Once you take the reins of your blog, you won’t want to relinquish them even when Google takes nearly 5 months to send traffic your way.

3. I have always maintained that for a blog to work successfully for me, it needs a resident Muse. The one that has settled down here has made himself way too comfortable and I need to kick his arse once in a while.

4. A change is like a well-needed holiday, so I’m contemplating a lighter look and feel for this place. BUT I like the red and black colour scheme that has become this site’s trademark. I wonder if a new banner pic could do the trick.

5. Whilst I’m blog navel gazing, and clearing out the lint, I’m also considering a blog name change. Could it be that I am no longer BeMused about the world?

A Slippery Fairy Tale

Posted by: Cléa in Red Ink, tags: , , , , , ,

Once upon a time, under a blazing summer sun, a mysterious figure washed ashore. She emerged from turquoise waters like a mythical creature barely clad in rags, and shook the droplets out of her flowing hair. She gazed down at her wet feet. Shapes and curves suddenly appeared and a silhouette was drawn on the golden sand.

The figure took tiny footsteps along the shore. She built a humble home among elaborate sand castles, and welcomed the daily ebb and flow that the sea had brought her way. In time, her haunting melody drew a crowd not unlike a siren’s song.

But the turning of the tide forewarned of an imminent change. It signalled time to leave the sea, to look back at the last footsteps as they fade with the next wave, to walk on dry sand towards uncharted lands and city lights.

The figure looked back, once, then twice. Bemused… this is where shadows come to light.
