Today at RDP, our host Martha Kennedy would
like us to share a story, poem, photo, painting, essay,
etc., centered on the word ‘howl’. The image is from
Mike Jackson at Only Murders In My Mind. Here’s my take.
In the ancient scrolls, it was written that the world would be consumed by fire. “And the heavens shall pass away with a great noise, and the elements shall melt with fervent heat,” God declared. The people trembled at the prophecy, and fear spread like wildfire.
But a few wise sages interpreted the words differently. They believed that the fiery howl was not a sign of destruction, but of transformation. It was a call for the world to be reborn from the ashes, to rise stronger and more beautiful than before.
And so, the people prepared …. not for the end, but for a new beginning.

Great minds think alike – the world rose from the ashes as well in my story for the Whirl on Sunday!
Nice to hear that song again.

Very serendipitous, dear Keith. It’s a good song to hear every 5 years or so! 😂
