Have you seen a bird fall from the sky?

I was just wondering about birds the other day, and how some of them must surely die mid-flight. I never really thought about it before, but it is fascinating, is it not?

On a slightly different note, I have another surprising and comedic gem from our new poet, Riley. I encourage you to check out There Will Come A Day. It will take about a minute of your time, and then you can return to watching the sky for falling objects.

Special Delivery

It is my honour and delight to present to you a number of new additions to Adopt A Beard.com, including both delightful art and poetry. But this is just filler text, really, so I'll give you the good stuff without further ado:

By Paul Ginz, the illustrious and clever Brit:

Historical Pivot

By Riley, a welcome newcomer whose poem looks like a spinning top and is equally as fun and out-of-control:

Velvet

By Rosie, the multimedia guru-ess:

By Ronald Isom, black and white and amazing all over:

A wonderful new sketch

I believe that is all for now. May you have a day free of derision, scorn, and grammatical embarrassment.

Back from the land down under... South America, that is

My neglect feels strange. I am not comfortable with nor familiar with this interface. This summer, this oppressive heat and overwhelmingly English (as opposed to Spanish) babble. Canada is not Bolivia, and Canada is not Peru. That is one amazingly profound thing I discovered. My trip was a success, and I hope your summer has been so far.

I have some tremendous new poetry and art additions which have been seeking publication for some time now. Thank you to everyone who sent me these gifts while I was away; I promise to have them up on the site in the near future.

For now I just wanted to say hello again, though I also have a few nuggets to share with you. If you are looking for some interesting summer reading, I just got a few books that might be worth looking at (or maybe not, who am I to judge?):

Paul Coelho - "The Alchemist"
Jonathan Safran Foer - "Everything is Illuminated"
Mario Vargas Llosa - "The Time of the Hero" (he is one of Peru's most famous writers of fiction)

Well, until I get my act together and post those submissions, have an enjoyable weekend!
