Of The Blogger’s Creed

….After some reflection and introspection on my journey here’s my blogger’s creed…

I am a storyteller
When I write,
It’s not my hand that writes,
It’s my father’s hand.
And my grandfather’s
and his father’s,
and his father’s father before him.
I do not write with my hand,
He who writes with his hand has forgotten the face of his father.
I write from my memories,
I do not write with my mind,
He who writes with his mind has forgotten the face of his father.
I write with my soul and with my heart.

~B
Inspired by The Gunslinger’s Creed from Stephen King’s The Dark Tower.

      The only fly in the ointment is how the dem blocks wont let me embed the anchor player otherwise I would be adding audio streams to more of my posts

        Did you try this: “The easiest way to do this is with the Podcast Player block. You can copy and paste the share/embed URL from your Anchor podcast and it will embed similar to the podcast episode I embedded above from TheDesignAir. For more information on using the block, check this out: https://wordpress.com/support/wordpress-editor/blocks/podcast-player-block/

        The challenge with this is for some reason for Anchor the Player Block wont allow a specific audio embed but instead shows a playlist of all the audio from Anchor instead of just that one specific I want and over time it gets a bit messy… for example check how this post has aged https://becomingthemuse.net/2020/06/15/of-tsumo-shona-proverbs/
