In a city this size, every year, hundreds of husbands walk away. Kids leave home. Wives escape. People disappear. I wish I could blame the government or natural disasters or climate change. But truth lies elsewhere. What is it that makes relationships so painful? How does hope wither away? Why do they think leaving home … Continue reading Those who left

What happens when two veteran bloggers and writers come together ….Sue Vincent being introduced by Robbie Cheadle…

Sue is kicking off my poetry readathon series of blog posts by sharing her poem, My Quest, written in French and English, as well as how she came to write this poem and its meaning to her.
‘My Quest’ was written many years ago. I had gone to work in Paris, eventually married a French musician and we set up home in Vichy where our eldest son was born. It was during this time that my schoolgirl French matured and became fluent, though not always completely correct!

What is the difference between the mind and the brain?
My brain is my physical organ of thought. It is visible and material. Whereas, my mind is not visible and not material. It is my conscious thought, my attitude, my feelings, my belief, and my imagination. My mind has power all over my body, overall my cells and it governs how I am going to be.

To think, then to imagine and feel and then convert that into abstract and practical concepts. That we can think, is a function that humans possess in common with other animals. But that we…

Blood always comes with birth... by Carol Forrester
Loneliness stems not from being alone, but not being understood. Am I ignored because my ‘being different’ created discomfort? Do I need to shed authenticity to gain acceptability?

It took two nights after work, to put together the Halloween costume. Lily liked it, and is off to her round of Tricks or Treats. I lay the table with some special treats, and put my feet up in front of the television set. There is a horror show on, keeping with the weekly theme. … Continue reading Catching up

Brain ….. by Lady Lee

In a blink

With accumulation of stories
Perhaps we can do summary
Pretty in pink or stink
In jeopardy
With a wink
Rethink
