PandaBaby is True Fiction.

Welcome to my Pandababy Blog. A panda bear is an unlikely animal - a bear that eats bamboo - a contradiction in every aspect. This blog is true fiction, also a contradiction in its essence. Yet both are real, both exist - the bear and the blog. Both can only be described by contradictory terms, such as true fiction. Please be pleased to enjoy these stories of our ancestors. They are True Fiction. Every person in my blog lived in the time and place indicated. They are my ancestors and relatives, and their friends.

Dylan Thomas - Do Not Go Gentle Into That Good Night - Lecture by Dr. Barker

The poem by Dylan Thomas ends with "Rage, rage against the dying of the light".  It was written for his father at the onset of blindness, but has also been taken for a simile of death, and a refusal to give up and die, but to keep up the fight to accomplish what is worthy of a life. It seemed apropos.[see how you are connected to Dylan Thomas at WikiTree.]

I have saved the YouTube lecture to watch later. After starting it, I saw that it was over 44 minutes long! It is fascinating enough to come back to, and I appreciate the link and introduction to this famous poem. Thank you :).
