She still owns two of those hats, they used to love twinning around in. She offered the hats as free gifts to kids, but those were rejected as being outdated. Kids these days …. There is a lot to learn from them though. Why is she moping around for something that was never meant to … Continue reading Off they go…

Sightings … by Aishwarya
Days, not so long ago,
Trip to the hills on the cards,
A hilltop cottage,
Promising sightings of wildlife,
Was earmarked,
Images of tigers, leopards on their night time prowl,
Waiting to be sighted by us conjured,
Us, equipped with torchlights,
With coffee mugs by the side,
Ready to sacrifice sleep and spot,
Alas! The mighty cats chose a different route that day,
It wasn’t our lucky night,
But, as the saying goes,
Patience always pays,
We weren’t to be disappointed by a herd of deers,
Who chose the early hours of dawn,
To pay a visit to the riverbank,
Our wildlife spotting wasn’t to go in vain,
If not for the mighty cats, the humble deers graced the occasion.

It is terrifying to see him slip into depths of insanity. Others-centeredness has destroyed his core. The youngest child raised in a large, joint family – he was taught that being good meant being obedient and servile. He always needed a god to worship, and a cult to follow. Shorn of deities after his parents … Continue reading Self-inflicted
Solitude …. a haunting story by Len
We talk of communing with Nature, but ’tis with ourselves we commune… Nature furnishes the conditions – the solitude – and the soul furnishes the entertainment.
John Burrough
A lonely, broken down house sat at the edge of the woods, its windows boarded, its roof partially exposed to the elements, its occupants roosting in the rafters or hiding in secret holes bored into the walls. The house could feel the ghosts of past occupants still wandering its hallways.
It wasn’t always so. Seventy years ago a stranger came to the woods, felled trees and lovingly constructed the house with hard work and fine craftsmanship. He had married, raised a family, made the house a loving comfortable home and took care of its every need for decades. But time moves on, as did the children, and when the parents died the house…

Childhood home …. by VJ Knutson
The place remains in my dreams
like a movie set preserved…
Have assigned each room
a critique – disclosed the crimes
Yet, it remains, like a beacon
draws me to it, begs reflection
What if I could go back
now that I can breathe
Now that I’ve laid claim to maturity
would I discover a sudden windfall
makeover conditioned motifs
reevaluate ceiling heights
with resources to remodel
heart open, connected
might I uncover abundance
like a personal embrace.
