Faith, Hope, and Charity

The Rule of 3 is a writing principle that suggests that a trio of entities such as events or characters is more

  • humorous
  • satisfying
  • effective.

Three entities combines both brevity and rhythm with having the smallest amount of information to create a pattern.

The rule has been confirmed by anthropological experts as an archetypal principle that works on three levels:

  • sentences
  • situations
  • stories.

21-GONE

Expectation

Though tonight she’s made me sad.
If I find her I’ll be glad.
I still love her.

I don’t wanna spoil the party so I’ll go.
I would hate my disappointment to show.
There’s nothing for me here, so I will disappear.
If she turns up while I’m gone, please let me know.

There’s no fun in what I do, if she’s not there.
But I think I’ll take a walk and look for her.

I Don’t Want to Spoil the Party by The Beatles (1964)

01-LOCK

Flocking

Seven older gentlemen of various political persuasions gather in the courtyard under the squawking birds to politely discuss and examine, in regulated heartbeat, the current issues and events of the week.

High-school classmates, both living & dead, unknown to others outside of Los Gatos, they also like to talk about.

Exclusive club it is.
