Do You Really Want to Read That?. Top Story - October 2023.
I seem to have missed something very important. You have noticed that my other pieces this week have been stories about the shenanigans – a wonderful word, I think – in both Canada and the United States with the Speakers of our respective Houses (ours was chosen after a quick vote; the one down south does not really exist yet, and may not exist for quite some time). I commented to a reader of my piece on how the Republican Party seems to be akin to a pack of dogs that are just on the edge of becoming feral. This is fair. My other work involved poetry, a short story, but also, I decided to repost two particular pieces about this week’s other big news: the Nobel Prizes. Physics, Chemistry and Medicine have been covered so far, and this article will be published after the prize for Literature is handed out on Thursday…unless there is another delay as there was in the year that Bob Dylan became a laureate. Anything is possible (Jon Fosse anyone?)

Perched high on the cliff, the lighthouse was a guiding light for sailors, keeping them safe from treacherous rocks and turbulent waters. For generations, the lighthouse had been tended by the dedicated keepers who called Cresthaven home.

As the seasons changed. Content Warning.
As the seasons changed , so did the forest. Each season brought new wonders to discover. In the spring, the forest came alive with a riot of colors as flowers bloomed, and the animals celebrated the return of warmth. In the summer, the canopy of leaves provided a cool respite from the sun, and Oliver spent his days exploring the deeper reaches of the forest, uncovering hidden waterfalls and secret glades.

From Utopia to Dystopia: The Twists and Turns of Imagining Perfect Worlds
Have you ever embarked on a mental journey to envision an ideal world? One free from the shackles of war, poverty, and crime? If so, you're in good company. The annals of human imagination are adorned with tales of utopian dreams – Plato's enlightened republic governed by philosopher kings, religious promises of heavenly bliss, and the myriad attempts throughout history to build earthly paradises. Thomas More's "Utopia," penned in 1516, bestowed a name upon this concept, derived from the Greek for "no place." Though its nomenclature suggested an inherent impossibility, the march of modern science and political progress kindled hope that these dreams might one day materialize into reality.

The Fury and Resilience of Supervolcanoes: From Destruction to Renewal
Supervolcanoes stand as the most formidable and intricate class of volcanoes, boasting both destructive power and the potential to rejuvenate life. Scattered across the planet, there are approximately 20 supervolcanoes, distinguishable by their immense calderas, which are large depressions in the Earth's surface situated above multiple fissures in the crust. Erupting at the staggering magnitude of eight on the Volcanic Explosivity Index, supervolcanoes unleash unparalleled devastation. However, their life cycle encompasses three major stages: the buildup of trapped magma, a supereruption, and a resurgence. These stages not only shape the Earth's landscape but also create opportunities for renewal and rebirth.
