Susi Bocks is first as usual…
Inspired by Eugi’s Weekly Prompt – Nature & Reena’s Exploration Challenge #185
it’s my nature
to withdraw
when unbalanced
for no reason at all
i retreat to a safe space
like bear cubs denning
i’m not languishing, i’m dormant
with melancholy
seeking shelter protects my soul
giving respite and comfort
surrounded by nothing but time
it revives me
A long long time ago, my husband, our two sons and I had gone out for an ice-cream treat. It was sometime when I was always thinking of curbing unnecessary expenditure.
As a selfless person, who was too much in love with her family to deny them of any pleasure, I always chose to sacrifice my own excesses. And it didn’t even feel like a sacrifice ever, because I was a woman of very few needs/ wants/ desires…
So, when my husband asked each one of us to choose our favourite flavour of ice-cream, I responded as usual, “I won’t have any.”
The boys enjoyed one round and ordered another; my response remained the same, “I don’t want any.”
I was happy in my family’s happiness. I was happy that my not indulging in pleasure was perhaps ensuring some more goodies in the future for my dear ones. .

Beautiful people
Are of the world
And we are of the world
Beauty lies on the eyes of beholder
Favorite color is your choice
And mine is rainbow
No defination would fit
But a little of something extra is fun
I like he, she or both at a go
Did God not say
He won’t destroy his people any day
And we are one
I’m fun, I promise
Pun, intended
But am no nun, at all
I trip and fall
Your voice I will call
She is legendary
And gorgeous too
He is beautiful
And tasty too
Love quality
I will grace your agitility
With my ability
I will try
Thou enjoy the absurdity
Marriage is a scum
Correct me if am wrong
But you help I help u
Is best description for marriage
Cover my ass I cover yours.
Play your role and I mine
And we survive
Stick by the rules
And you got my back
Play well
And we survive
I will marry you at the very end
And leave not no loose ends
I trust you
And you in me
I see, it in your eyes
Me and you to fly
Until the death of us
Eugenia is reposting some of Reena’s previous challenges
I am sharing a few of Reena’s previous posts from her weekly challenge on Eugi’s Causerie once a week for 4 weeks. Anyone that wishes to participate in the challenge may do so. I may not be able to comment on your responses, however, I will publish a Weekly Wrap, in keeping with Reena’s blog style. Remember, Reena will be lurking as a participant.
It’s only a matter of time
When what you’ve sent out in the world
Comes back in one form or the other
It can be a reward for the good you’ve done
Or revenge that fate extracts on you
For the misdeeds you have done in your life
Karma is never instant, it takes its own sweet time
But rest assured that karma bites, and strongly too!

Reshma Saujani is the founder of Girls Who Code.
She achieved fame with her Ted Talk on how we train girls to achieve perfection, and boys to be brave.
The popularity of the talk led to a book Brave, not Perfect.
In this article on Medium, she talks about her political experiments – how she ran for Congress at the age of 33. She got only 19% of the vote. The papers that earlier labelled her a rising political star, now said she wasted $1.3 million dollars on 6,321 votes. The math may have been humiliating, but the courage of the move – UNPRECEDENTED.
In her own words,
See how brilliantly she draws a comparison between coding and personality.
In 2012,I started a company to teach girls to code. What I found is that by teaching them to code, I had socialized them to be brave. Coding…

Memory stalks me. A secret festers within, And the burden of silence weighs heavy. But some promises cannot be broken, And some secrets must be….Secrets in the meadow, Promises on the beach. (A ballad) — tales told different
