General

Satan found solace in a place where he could be the supreme ruler, so he said that it is better to reign in Hell than serve in Heaven.  If you believe in God, then you have to believe in the devil, as that is the way Christianity, Islam and Judaism religions teach us.  Let’s just assume that my good friend Fandango is wrong and that there is a God, then we can wonder what it would be like being in charge of hell.  I guess that there would be a lot of fun people down in hell and that most of the boring ones would be up in heaven, but then there would also be a lot of pedophiles there too and I don’t want to be around them.  If a really bad person like a serial killer repents and lets Jesus into their heart, they will be forgiven and…

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #274 – Being in charge of hell

humanity ends
men being in charge of hell
please take a hiatus

challenged and yet strong
when the feminine rises
life begins again

Being in charge of hell was a thankless task.

The monotony of filing all those souls, was something Marta Hari hated doing. She regretted going for the promotion, when their old manager went for reintegration on Earth.

Look, she thought to herself, it depended on what side of the coin you represented. For example, in British history, there were many souls, who ended up in hell. When she was a soul, did she not think she was working for the right side. She was a strong willed female, in a period of time, where it was frowned upon.

Was it her fault she had resorted to murder?

‘Marta, where are you on the soul trade today?’ A new face said, walking into her office.

‘I’m on B and C, Bonnie has decided to try her luck in the twenty first century. She feels it is time…

Coffee Drip

i started drinking coffee when i was ten years old. my mother never liked the idea. looking back, i now realize how horrible she must have felt for seeing her ten-year-old daughter obsessed with coffee.

she lectured me about the effects of coffee on our bodies and how bad it could be. (of course, again, i know that now.) she even used to joke about me not getting taller if i didn’t stop consuming coffee. (of course, again, i think she was right all along.) there was nothing my mom could do at that time, though.

and i am not talking about blended coffees which we can now get at some fancy coffee shops. no, not your usual Starbucks caramel macchiato, white mocha, or cafe latte. i don’t remember having Starbucks growing up. it wasn’t a thing then. i meant the black espresso, a single shot with no…

happiness came to me in snail mail
I persuaded, mollycoddled, blackmailed it not to go on a hiatus,

to stay with me forever,

It zoomed in a jiffy via E-mail,
To the next person unbeknownst to him.

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #273

Happiness is chasing me till now
With
Some hope to get up in the morning
Ability to do plenty of things 
Some people around me who reciprocate my love 
Appreciating others for their care concern, and friendship, and
Getting appreciation too
Though
Happiness is in
Cheerful mornings
sunrises
sunsets
Smiling faces
Music
Rain
Celebrating with near and dear ones
Laughing chirping celebrating with friends and relatives
It is also in understaning,accepting,and enjoying the silence and the solitude

Bundle of joy
Basketfull of happiness
Go and grab it
Till it lasts
Nothing lasts forever
Enjoy the moment

Masked lips, and imagine the smiles that reach the twinkling toes of stars. Long remembered, even when they are gone. Swaying songs, shining in unison, alongside planets, viewed with fresh eyes. 
Spring, a once in a lifetime experience, where they are visible from earth. Close your mind, you might miss their amazing sprinkle of love, still on their luminous tips. Shimmering, even when the stars have turned into black holes of nothingness. 
I wonder, what aliens may think of us, as they watch us from their homes. Do they wonder what is beyond? Can they travel to distant lands, or do they think we aren't worth bothering with.
