How does it feel like to see light at the end of the tunnel? It was there all along, but I was focussed on darkness in the tunnel and claustrophobia. I even forgot to explore depths of darkness and discover hidden secrets there.

Finite Sequences of well-defined instructions …
By Artie& Stu
I bought a packet of hooks
so that I have a hook
to hang-up my packet of hooks.
We are meant to harmonize
with the universal chorus
how’s that going?
And what is good
and what is not
need we ask anyone
to tell us these things?

They look at me with curiosity, but my eyes look for my friend. Hope she recognises me… It was a deep bond, but not a free one. Reciprocity was the name of the game. I taught her how to use a laptop and the … Continue reading Impostor
Brain, brain, come on …..by Carol Anne
This is in response to reenas prompt
Reenas Xploration Challenge #209 Reena Saxena (wordpress.com)
Hello? Are you listening to me?
No?
I didn’t think so!
Brain, damn brain! What am I gonna do with you!
Coffee? You need coffee? Okaaay!
But wait…coffee is addictive! Did you know that?
Sure you did! You want me to stay up late, get little or no sleep, isnt that right, brain?
Now what? You cause my thoughts to race!
Stop it brain!
I hate racing thoughts! You know how much I hate them!
Is it time to eat? What do I eat? A sandwich, a fruit salad with yogurt?
Can’t make up my mind, brain, you won’t let me decide!
Time to read, what to read, so many books to choose from, my brain cant make its mind up which book sounds best to read at the moment! A christmas book? A true crime…

Close all tabs ….by Radhika
The spotlight focuses on
an ensemble of ideas, incomplete tasks and memories,
that take center stage without an invite,
blaring their discordant voices.
With a conscious effort, I scat them away one by one,
much to my dismay, a multitude of others pop up.
The plethora of thoughts vying for attention
reverberates to a cacophonic din, unsettling my sanity.
I wish I had a CLOSE ALL tab in my brain
to shut down and restart it again!
Note to self ….by VJ Knutson
Checking symptoms for possible diagnosis: tab 1
Searching for gluten free recipes for leftover turkey: tab 2
Black Friday specials on tab 3
Writing a blog post on tab 4
Email on tab 5
Too many tabs open to concentrate
and Christmas is looming
and the fridge needs cleaning
and I got the groceries
but forgot the milk
and potatoes
and guests are coming
and laundry is piling up
and,
and,
and…
Somewhere at the bottom of the pile
is a note to self:
compassion.
(For Reena’s Xploration Challenge: My brain has too many tabs open; and Eugi’s Weekly prompt: compassion. Image my own)
E.M s Brain Tabs …by E.M.Kingston
From the moment my eyes open, the tabs begin to form
What will I write today?
What will my health be like today?
Don’t forget to medicate!
(Coffee, please!)
Make the coffee…play some games on my phone…
(Thank you very much!)
Okay…let’s go outside!
(I don’t function until three cigarettes are done and a cuppa is drunk.)
Don’t bother me yet.
Routine time!
How many challenges will I achieve today?
Look at all these tabs!
What’s for breakfast?
What will I snack on at lunchtime, if I eat at all?
Dinner will be ready at such and such time today.
Let’s write more on the book!
Should I share this piece of the book or nah?
Oh! That will be a good word to put in the story.
Dogs have to go pee.
I have to go pee.
Baby time!
I’m tired, but I will write a little bit longer.

Tab, tab, clear …..by Diana Coombes
Too many tabs.
Reboot! Reboot!
Too many tabs,
I don’t compute.
Just want to stop for a while
Find another way of life;
Colouring, painting, writing until
all the tabs close and
all is still.
Tabs of the Mind …. by Jasmine Bhatia
My brain has too many tabs open,
Each tab has a story to convey,
Not all the tabs however clicked,
Displays the content in it
Some are hidden, Some are Open,
Some are a feeling of a painful wound,
Some are the joyous precious moments,
Some are sorted and some are tangled and complex,
When many tabs open together,
The system of the brain crashes too
And it alarms to restart or shut off the tabs of overthinking,
Which results in no plans and no solutions.
Once it calms and cools off,
By a simple walk, a loved music or a poised meditation,
It has the power to relax, rejoice and chase any dreams or any challenging time.
Now when this is known to me,
My brain has installed an anti virus in it
To flush away all the unwanted tabs and
Only keep the tabs that are constructive,
And…
