I remember playing chess with my Father using these pieces. He brought these with him from Hungary, they've seen many matches with him and his friends & for sure have heard many a great story or two. The board they originated on didn't survive as well and recently needed replacing, now as good as the first maybe better. The red team also lost a pawn, I think it lost a battle with our Vizsla "Snoopy" way back in my childhood. Now passed on to my boys it sits awaiting weekend battles with their Granfather who is sharing a great story or two with them!

Feeling Seussical.....
Feeling much like the little Lorax, wishing to take it all on feeling often I've failed....but one day it will all change.
"Now that you're here,
the word of the Lorax seems perfectly clear.
UNLESS someone like you
cares a whole awful lot,
nothing is going to get better.
It's not.
"SO...
Catch!" calls the Once-ler.
He lets something fall.
"It's a Truffula Seed.
It's the last one of all!
You're in charge of the last of the Truffula Seeds.
And Truffular Trees are what everyone needs.
Plant a new Truffula. Treat it with care.
Give it clean water. And feed it fresh air.
Grow a forest. Protect it from axes that hack.
Then the Lorax
and all of his friends
may come back."
I want the "Lorax" in life back....we should all care so much.....this my mood of lately.

The "Muchness"
Fabulous, fearless, mysterious, striking & strange.......Alice had it, the Cheshire Cat had it, you have it! It is a quality hidden in most often needing coaxing..but it is there. Sadly many never let it out, it then withers & fades never to be had again. I love my "muchness" I embrace it, when it's out watch out! It does have it's quiet moments, though I feel too many of them! So go find your "muchness" enjoy it, share it.......live in harmony with it! It is what it is...absolute :)
