Paper and (Th)inks

Never be fearful to express your thoughts freely
For the world grows richer with such acts of bravery
Clasp your pen firmly and scribe away as the muse
Helps to enable you to reveal all your views

Regrets are for leaving in lines on the sand
When all that they taught us we can understand
We must always step forwards to travel through life
As to linger or retreat will hold us in strife

So bring forth your feelings in words or in paint
By all means be subtle but avoid being faint
Our strength grows well when our boldness is shown
And those that view it will bless that it's then known
Those lines that enlighten what another soul thinks
Are worth far more than the paper and inks

Comment by Dave, aka Rhumour on February 2, 2009 at 1:43am: Hmm - a bit outside my knowledge base, but Wednesday was I think derived from the old god Odin - probably predates the middle english even.

Thursday has been attributed to Thors day as well as views that it was a Latin reference originally to Jupiter (Jovis?) the common point being the link to thunder - though why Jupiter was associated with thunder by the Romans I have no idea...

I'm rather reliant upon faint memories from grammar school but doubtless there will be rather better sources to find nowadays on the web......

Comment by George Williston on February 2, 2009 at 1:06am: Very Good Dave,
I have self published a book about our tribe. When one writes a very different view than the common public opinion the corporate publishing world wants nothing to do with you. Being self published even our newspapers will not look at it to judge its merit. But I tryed to not hold back and we will see where it goes. My book is called This Tribe of Mine: A Story of Anglo Saxon Viking Culture in America. Do you know the meaning and root of Wednesday and Thursday?
Peace,
George
