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.

"Shall we read from the poetry book first tonight, James?"

 "Yes, I'd like that." "Then I want to hear you read it, please James."

 "James, do you think it is wrong to love a person so completely? Should such love be reserved for God alone?"

After a pause, James replied, "I think that the better we can love others, the better we can love God, for He commands it Himself - for us to love our neighbors as ourselves, and that it is next to loving God."
