A Troubled Reunion: a #TankaProse
It has been years, but we are assigned the same co-teaching class again. Echoes of past trauma arise, and with them the familiar tension and gut cramping.
But I am not the same as I was, then. I can practice relational Tai Chi. I am water.
It’s time to flow.
no discouragement
even experiencing
unfortunate news
take one breath, then another
and stay in the moment

Whom do you work with?
“Why should anyone want to shift these statues? They have been a major attraction for visitors to the museum, and pictures get splashed all across social media.” The Curator of the Museum was furious at unplanned moves. “Actually, Sir, we have shifted all the wax statues from the other side to another section….” The junior … Continue reading Whom do you work with?
Small minds in a small world

Hindsight is 20/20
This is what NLP practitioners call Version 1 (what actually happened) and Version 2 (what/how we remember and propagate ahead) of an incident.
hindsight so clever, but
perhaps of little value
actual occurrence blurred
by foregone conclusions
seemingly without qualm
and grave consequences
may lead to one’s demise

आशार तेरे हैं
I think of you, and poems sprout
A thought or couplets – all yoursI see you wherever I look
Are these thousands of forms – all yours?Let us divide the garden here
Give me thorns, blossoms all yoursEveryone I see has a broken heart
Are they infatuated or victims – all yours?How do I express, blame or complain?
Defence lines are tailored – all yours….Translated from original Hindi piece here
फ़िर आया ख़याल तेरा, फिर निकले आशार नए
ये ख़याल तेरा है या आशार तेरे हैं
जिस सिम्त देखता हूँ, तू ही नज़र आता है
तू ही बतला क्या रूप हज़ार तेरे हैं
चलो आओ करें इस गुलिस्तां का बॅटवारा
रख लो तुम फूल सभी ख़ार मेरे हैं
हर शख़्स लगता है मुझे चोट खाया हुआ
इस शहर में क्या सब बीमार तेरे हैं
क्या करे कोई तुझसे शिकवा गिला अमित
अपनी सफाई में बहाने तैयार तेरे हैं

Megaliths of Belief
“You don’t have a choice in the matter. You’ll have to do this, since it has been the family tradition.” “I do have a choice, of walking out.” So she did. MEGALITHS OF BELIEF is the title of her new book, the tagline is Structures we create around it. https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2020/09/19/weekend-writing-prompt-175-megalith/
