“Did you see the same thing that I saw today?” “The new girl on the last bench?” “No. The professor caught you napping, but stayed quiet. He smiled at you later when you were looking back.” “So, what’s the issue? Maybe he’s used to it. He gets to look at her without turning back” “No. … Continue reading College
Iconoclast Offspring ….by Ami
By Ami (Gypsie) Offenbacher-Ferris
I was raised in an extremely strict household. Literally, children were to be seen and never heard. Children did not speak at the table, and so forth.
When my children entered the world, I vowed they would have the freedoms I never had. Freedom to explore their surroundings, to learn about themselves and to question authority, respectfully of course, when a task, request or command felt wrong. Not to just bow down to the “because I said so” mentality I grew up with, without explanation of why.
I’m sure most if not every parent who is reading this, is now rolling their eyes and have predicted the outcome of my very noble endeavors, correctly. I raised, unknowingly, naively even; iconoclast children. Rebel mongers. Rule breakers. Social outcasts.
Yet, I can not say I am sorry. My children know themselves, really know themselves…

Iconoclasm…by Artie & Stu
The earth has moved
227 billion miles since
Galileo’s judgement of guilt
for moving the earth.
We compose, aspire, plan, pay respect
for iconoclasts breaking from ordained belief
seeking truth; at least, perhaps eventually…
I am so curious but my life journey spans from unknown to unknowable -ends there moving beyond is a nurtured dream of the soul it may take many cycles to unlearn and then be stopped by what is unexplainable lessons I've learnt - give me the right Teacher https://reinventionsreena.wordpress.com/2022/01/27/reenas-xploration-challenge-215/
So no one told me ….by Mich
So No One Told Me
so no one told me it would feel this way
unexplainable in so many beautiful ways
my mind is trying to make sense how this is
my heart is celebrating “it’s wonderful” it says
so no one told me it’s magical beyond magic
unknowable, impossible even through logic
my senses are feasting over delightful sight
of you beside me as i see the first ray of sunlight
so no one told me how it would feel this way
just you beside me is breathtaking i swear i say
i could trade anything in the world for you
to be where you are anywhere my boo
so no one told me it would feel this way
but thanks to you i knew it now anyway
The words to lead your piece for this week are
• unknowable
• unexplainable

“What if you could read minds?” “The thrill of sauntering through unknown territory would keep me there for some time, exploring different nooks and corners. If I don’t like what I see, I’ll look for the exit door.” “You are under arrest, for failing to read the sign – TRESPASSERS NOT ALLOWED.” https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2022/01/29/weekend-writing-prompt-246-saunter/
The abundance of books,
Judges me as I look,
For the next book to read,
As if the choices are none,
They laugh as I twist and turn,
Kept aside on the shelf,
They yell to be picked up,
For it’s been too long,
That they’ve been kept in lock-up,
“Why are you standing there like a fool?”
“Just pick me up, I’m the best option to choose!”
They say, I assume,
As I struggle,
To select just one book,
It feels like a closet story,
Too many books exist,
But none is there to read,
The number keeps increasing,
And the confusion, unceasing,
Try as much as I can,
This cycle will never end,
But that’s the beauty in it,
An everlasting game of tricks,
To not know what to read,
Yet add new ones in your,
TO BE READ!
