  "textContent": "_Thursday, December 18, 2025_\n\nGood morning, The Wonder Fell Way.\n\nPeace. Think of doves.\n\nSome metaphors last.\n\nThere's nothing more peaceful about a dove than there is about a pigeon.\n\nWhat's up with that?\n\nOur stories and poets are to blame.\n\nO/\n\nPeople like me are the reason a dove signals peace for you.\n\nAn owl is wise because of the work I do.\n\nI'm working on widening our understanding and making a new place for dragons in our cultural mythology right now.\n\nOur stories of what it means to be alive aren't serving us as well as they used to.\n\nWe need a rebirth of wonder, a cultural Renaissance, if we're to survive.\n\nPeople's spirits are down. 'Whatevers' roll eyes and fill the air.\n\nBut life is worth more than Whatevers. It's worth 'What Could Be's,' too.\n\nA thing called Hope, the reason for every story, The Great Destroyer of The Whatevers.\n\nOur stories don't serve us as well as they could. So many write these days, do so much these days, just to make money.\n\nThe problem with money as a reason to do anything is: It's amoral. It's neither right or wrong.\n\nBut money isn't worth a dime without human interaction.\n\nSo what we're actually valuing when we say we value money is the ability for more positive human interactions.\n\nNot nicer things, better relationships.\n\nThere are too many miserable millionaires in the world for money to be an answer in and of itself.\n\nIt's our stories, what we tell our children, what we tell ourselves.\n\nI bring up Science often on the site, and I'm grateful for it. What a great tool.\n\nBut Science leaves out morality, so the umbrella isn't big enough to sustain joyful living.\n\nIf our culture is to heal it comes down to us Artists. We have to grow our stories, images, and songs to match our moral needs.\n\nHow we treat each other matters. At the end of a day, and a life, it's actually the only thing that does.\n\nSun's up. Powder blue sky over an orange pink ribbon horizon, pencil scratch marks make the silhouettes of trees.\n\nTake care, consider your stories, and make wonderful this wonderful day.\n\n#### Wynn\n\n+he Ghos+\n\nBrought to you by the emoji of the day: 🍞 __bread__\n\nSame Prompt🤔: __Create an image of a dove, an owl, and a dragon all wearing bowties sat reading books in an enchanted forest at dawn in the style of a magical cubist illustration.__\n\nImage courtesy of Google Gemini, Some Cubists, and +he Ghos+, December 2025\n\n0:00\n\n/0:06\n\n1×\n\nImage courtesy of Grok Imagine, Some Cubists, and +he Ghos+, December 2025\n\nArchaic Slab",
