Hello
Hi my name is Lynn Roldan and I am 52 years old. I have been telling stories from the moment I said my first words and have loved writing stories ever since I learned how to write my first words in school. However I never liked showing my stories in class because my teachers and fellow students were not very kind in the judgment of my stories. I never know how to answer their questions about why I wrote the story or why I did not add more to the story or why I did choice a different direction for the story or just why in general about my stories. The all seamed to have their own ideas about the story and how I should change it. As I got older I took a collage creative writing class and my teacher split the class into groups to do exchange papers and give advice to each other but I got basically the same thing from everyone "Why, this and not that?" My teacher also wanted us to journal about our feelings on writing the stories. You tell him why we choice that subject to write about, how we felt writing the story, how we felt having the students read and advise us on our stories. I could not do it. The journal had to have one page per day for each class so I faked it. I put that I choice the subject because the teacher gave us the basic beginning of the story, that I was usually tired when I was writing the story because I did it late at night after class and a full day of work, and I told him that I did not care about what the other students thought about my stories because the only reason they were reading them in the first place was because it was part of the class and I had no choice in the matter and I was not going to change my stories for any of them.

Wavy Gravy in 2020!
Wavy Gravy is not your ordinary clown.He certainly has had a long run since his earlier days as a poet and stand-up comic, improvisational theater artist, psychedelic bus caravan luminary, and rock concert MC, and often jokes: “if you don’t have a sense of humor, it just isn’t funny any more.” Yet his reach extends far beyond the comic. He is devoted to “do something good for a change,” and his creative activism on behalf of peace, justice, and good humor is legendary. Along with Jahanara, his wife of over fifty years, he has brought joy and helped to relieve suffering for countless people around the globe, largely through his favorite projects, the Seva Foundation and Camp Winnarainbow. Wavy has been called “clown prince of the counter-culture” by Entertainment Weekly, “a saint in a clown suit” by Bob Weir, and “the illegitimate son of Harpo Marx and Mother Teresa” by Paul Krassner. Now in his 80s, this iconic figure from the 60s refers to himself as a “temple of accumulated error,” yet he’s always ready with a twinkling insight, a fantastic story and a helping hand. About those stories, Ram Dass said, “everything Wavy says is true, although it’s all unbelievable.”

The Beautiful Mind Of The Professor - 1964 J.R.R. Tolkien Interview - How He Created The Lord Of The Rings And Other Musings. Top Story - February 2021.
Listening to The Professor speak on anything is an experience as otherworldly as the great adventures in his written works. This interview with Professor J. R. R. Tolkien was conducted in 1964 by Denys Gueroult (His name has varying spellings based on the source material.) BBC Radio 4 first broadcast the interview in 1971. It takes a very dedicated listener to follow the Professor at times through this interview. Just as a reader must be to wade through his written works. But that is the beautiful mind of Tolkien.
