Beautiful Prose

with one comment

There are some people whose abilities with prose are just… above average. Far above average in the case of this post over at the Rabbit Room by Ron Block.

It is so still and serene there. God’s creation is; it’s just simply being itself. There is an immutable silence in nature that mere noise and activity can’t eradicate; the silence is always there under the noise, patiently waiting.

I recommend the read… it reminds me of the prose in Walt Morey books that I read over and over again when I was 10 or 11. The kind of stuff that boys dream of.

  1. I discovered Walt Morey’s books when I was about that age (10 or 11). The first one I read was Gentle Ben and I was hooked. I have no doubt that his books inspired my interest in and eventual move across the continent to Alaska. I don’t meet many people who are familiar with his books much less appreciate them, so it’s great to hear that you connected with Mr. Morey’s stories and style.
