Seasons

I dread counting how many seasonal changes I have lived through, and how many have brought remarkable changes in life. It is a routine that one performs -- revamping the wardrobe, cleaning the cooling or heating equipment needed and a shopping list for travel/seasonal requirements. The actual seasons that matter are seasons of the mind … Continue reading Seasons

Fear of the Beyond

Years melt into moments in my reverie taking a trip across the skies staging a performance unseen, unheard.   A figure in a white coat stops by and proclaims Schizophrenia, inventing terms for his fear of the beyond.   Weekly Writing Prompt #105 at Secretkeeper Image: beyond.com.au

Succeed I will …

The palmist did not take a glorious view of my knotty fingers and short nails. He said I was too analytical, too critical and it led to poor interpersonal relations.
