Okay I know I only ever come on here to talk about my random resurgent love of specific musicals but just. Come From Away is so fucking good yall.

The parts that always get me are the songs using multiple languages, specifically "Darkness and Trees (reprise)" and "Prayer" which both have that underlying theme of religion being international.

Now I am not a religious man, I have my own beliefs but they are easily swayed one way or another. However, the way the musical emphasizes and highlights that despite language barriers, a common viewpoint can bridge that gap easily. It doesn't just go for religion either, but that kindness. It took one act of kindness after another to show that words cannot beat actions, and your actions have impact.

I could rant for hours about Come From Away and how masterful it is

Not the type of rock for lying down on to sunbathe, but still unique and beautiful! Lol Sediment rock in this area including red sandstone, siltstone & conglomerates.

Amidst such rugged terrain, Newfoundland farmers must be intrepid.

Gwen & Courtney competing for his attention in the first two episodes and pining for him for the rest of the first half doesn't count as being part of the subplot?

One of the earliest boardwalks in the USA was designed in New Jersey and opened on June 26, 1870, in Atlantic City.

Me listening to Come From Away as someone part Irish: I know Newfoundlanders aren't actually Irish, there's just cultural crossover in our history so the music and accents can sometimes sound similar.

Also me every time I hear Welcome to the Rock: I'M AN ISLANDER (jumping on table) I AM AN ISLANDER (going feral) I'M AN ISLANDER (stamping and singing so loud our neighbours across the Atlantic can probably hear) I AM AN ISLANDER-

Windswept ~ Pic and a Word Challenge #385

The Pic and a Word Challenge is a weekly creativity prompt (usually) offered Mondays. Use the word and/or photograph to inspire a new post featuring words and/or images.

This is a bedraggled Windswept spot of rock On a far northern sea The gales blow hard over open water Make landfall with merciless ferocity And there break the will of branch and limb Leaving nought but the tenacious grass Which cleaves to the rubble of shoreline stone And here am I Full face into this sunny storm Turbulence heavy in my ears As it ties knots in my swept back hair I remind…

Book Reviews and Rock and Roll

Okay, so I have been pretty busy lately, but I’ve been Working on learning a few things, so I downloaded Notes on Nursing by Florence Nightingale and A Newfoundlander in Canada by Alan Doyle.  The nursing one has been fascinating to listen to as it talks of where nursing was at the time, and it shows how it has changed and how her thoughts were at the time (1800-1900). I dont have much…
