September words

[vaneramos]

My September entries at 100words.com can now be viewed. I tried to say too much about too many things and it ended up incoherent. There is a theme, however, so if you're inclined to read and tell me what it is, in one word, the first correct answer will win a snail mail card with a nice photo from Guelph.

I'm inclined to think "touchstones", but that seems too facile an answer.

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

Wow, that was a good guess. Not facile at all. It's an interesting idea for the future. rsc got the right answer.

I'm inclined to think "memory", but there are a few that I can't make work.

[vaneramos.livejournal.com]

You're right! The reference to memory, remembrance and reminiscence is secondary in a few, but I squeezed it into all the entries.

If you want to send me your mailing address by way of the email addy on my profile page, I'll mail a card next week. Congratulations, and thanks for reading. :)

Thanks, Van, for sharing this link. Your writing, for me, regardless of how it is for you, is luminous, evocative, and doesn't pull any punches when it comes to the gritty stuff.

I look forward to reading more of these when time permits. This afternoon, I have all the poise and lucidity of a punctured balloon.

Thank you. I liked the previous three months better. July is my favourite, and makes reference to the first time I visited Bill and Danny. Hope you feel better soon, Shimmer. Hugs.

my best guess is family, but it's late and my brain is foggy.
