Knots

The Scout and Guide movement launched by Lord Baden Powell was revolutionary enough to keep me busy in school, painstakingly learning to tie knots of different kinds - reef, sheet-bend, fisherman’s and others. The rope tied to my belt felt nothing less than a pistol. Then, came the craft teacher who made knots look like … Continue reading Knots

Deja Vu or Veja Du?

Have I really been here before? Is it a scene from the last five novels I binge-read? I recall wanting to be there, and rewriting the plot in my style. The place has so much potential - in the mind, on earth or under water. Shadows creep in on me, telling me a very old … Continue reading Deja Vu or Veja Du?

Reena’s Exploration Challenge

I am keeping it simple this week with a picture prompt.

Mary Shelley - Literary Witches

The prospect of death didn’t frighten him. He knew his family would grieve, but he’d be dead so he wouldn’t know or, by that time, care. Dead was dead. Period. None of that idioticcoming back as a bug if you hadn’t lived your life right; thought what was meant by ‘right’ was a question in itself. No angels blowing the trumpets with Saint Peter at the Pearly Gates, pointing either up or down.

How could he? There was no heaven and no hell. No monster wreaking havoc upon a fellow for the rest of eternity.

Dead. Was. Dead. Period.

His mother was dead. His father. Aunts and uncles, maybe some nieces or nephews. Come to think of it, there wouldn’t be anyone to grieve him anyway.

resurrection of a new man

Resurrection of.a new man…. By Audrine Maxden

Audrine Max's avatarAwakening Imagination

the world is nothing but
a reflection of my self concept
this has always been
a slap in the face
never fails to burst my bubble
as within, so without
my environment is
a mirror of my conciousness
good and evil, the best and the worst
all are my creation,
stemming from the dangers of
an undiscisplined mind
products of my misjudgments,
rage, and resentments,
oh dear mischievous anger
justifying my victimhood
arise my child,
align with your ideals
so then i move
and raise the podium
of who I am
carrying in me the concepts
of vigor, power, and might
leaning towards a more-
expansive, fruitful
view of the world
awareness reminds me
to shepherd my herd
for thoughts are sheep
that needs to be tended
a wise psychological step
towards a better mental state
making this the new
natural dwelling place
death to the old consciousness
i walk…
