You Are Archery



You are a bit of a traditionalist. You like old fashioned things with deep traditions.

You also like to see the result of your accomplishments right in front of you.

If practice makes perfect, that's fine by you. You like to practice a skill.



I did archery for seven years. I won medals; I was not Olympic-quality. I still miss it. Between seventh grade and my first year of college, I probably had better posture than ever before or after in my life.

I am naturally biased, but at the moment Chariots of Fire (1981) may have my vote for cleverest title allusion ever.

OT but worthy -- A note to let you know I received a beautiful copy of this today in the mail and have been swallowed by it. Just the first three so far and I had to stop and report in. "Etz Chayim" stirs in me the same turmoil I felt when I first read Caitlin Kiernan's short story "In The Water Works" about ten years ago (and I give her credit for breaking my world into tiny pieces of light and darkness). I have greatly enjoyed your work in Sirenia Digest and look forward to reading the rest. Also, tomorrow, I believe, brings a copy of "Singing Innocence and Experience."

Happiness is discovery.

Best wishes to you.

I am honored; truly. Thank you for telling me.

I am glad. And you are very welcome.

My apologies for being tardy. I will quickly catch up.
