If I blaspheme, may I do so beautifully...from a place of good intention. Happy Holidays and Merry Christmas
WINTERSONG is the December 2019 Rock-n-Roll Read story. The story is inspired by Rob Halford's cover version of Winter Song, the original written by Sara Bareilles/Ingrid Michaelson. Through the story I also honor Ursula K. Le Guin. 'Winter' is the name for her fictitious planet of Gethen. The Gethenians are androgynes.
Notes for Readers (return here after reading, if you want -- these notes might ease comprehension for the occasional reader)
Grenewe is one of my worlds. It is a Pangaean type world. GRENEWE is an anagram of Wegener. Alfred Wegener, scientist originating continental drift theory. I searched for a word to use as the root for parent in my fictitious Grenewe. As much as it is a sensory function, listening is a powerful trait. In the Vietnamese language Tai means ear.

THANK YOU to Rob Halford, Sara Bareilles, Ingrid Michaelson and Ursula K. Le Guin. Rob, you will never know how much hearing your voice sing these words meant to me while temporarily living in Berlin, during times I felt adrift, an outcast—and alone as a result.
