Not me
I waited for change, for what appears to be a lifetime now. Change happened, but not always for the better, and I was not driving it. I was sick of being a recipient, and waiting for Divine Grace to bless my life. The hope to find understanding, acceptance and love was gradually fading away. I … Continue reading Not me

V.J.’s Weekly Challenge #90: contribution
“I received the nicest package today!” my mother tells me excitedly over the phone. “It couldn’t have arrived at a more perfect time!”
Kleenex, Voltaren, scotch mints, body lotion and a hand drawn picture from a great granddaughter, all bundled and dropped at the entrance to the nursing home, where we are no longer allowed.
My daughter and her family put it together.
Another daughter picks up medications for an elderly neighbour who can’t get out.
Ric is grocery shopping for us and others in the neighbourhood, minimizing exposure.
What can I do?, I wonder, feeling helpless in this state of isolation. It hits me in the middle of the night. Do what I can. Write.

Is this war?
“War is hell. You can’t photograph a flying bullet, but you can capture genuine fear.”
The bomb has dropped
control slips from our grasp
We pray for a parachute
for someone to pull the cord
numbers escalate,
lives plummet
We offer encouragement
isolated voices faltering
moment of impact imminent
the implosion inevitable
impact reverberates

No threshold to bear a slight discomfort,
Sight of a tiny roach,
Mighty strategy to destroy, would be the approach,

Complacency goes for a toss,
Change, an order resolves,
A battered, nevertheless, better person evolves.
