Reena’s Exploration Challenge #94

‘ Life was like a box of chocolates. You never what you will get.’ 

From- Forrest Gump

Life is more like a game of cricket.

However, you may seem to be 

efficient in batting

it throws a different ball each time

it has many surprises in its bag

you win or lose

depends on

how much confident, focused and balanced you are

still, it manages to surprise some times

Or

it’s a game of chess

between

life and death

and 

we are just

pawns

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #94 – Seasons change, so do people and relationships. What remains constant is the process of churning out thoughts – some mundane, some innovative and some creative – but it is energy nevertheless, energy which powers the world. So, here we are in another tiny capsule of time, reproducing snapshots of our thought process in this space.  PROMPT:  TRUTH & MEANING.

Maria Antonia Weekly 2019 Photography Challenge – Come join me, each Saturday, in posting a photo.  There  is a list of the prompts to help inspire us. The order of the photos won’t matter. In other words, you don’t have to start at the top and move toward the end. For this challenge, you may pick any prompt on the list and start with that.  PROMPT:  ROAD WORTHY.

a soul is not born

road worthy

for it is the 

rugged way

that grows a…

In which form ,

Would I like to be remembered ,

After I part from this world forever?

A statue,

A fossil,

A memory,

A relic,

A photo,

In the hearts of loved ones,

Or merely formless,

While on this Earth, change is constant,

It’s undeniable, that,

While everything changes,

The truth is, that is, constant,

The truth is, that is, inevitable,

The truth is, that is, invincible,

The truth is, that is, universal,

Be us young or old,

Be us rich or poor,

Be us good or bad,

Be us big or small,

The truth is All- Supreme,

It doesn’t distinguish,

It doesn’t sympathise,

It doesn’t concede,

It doesn’t conceal,

The truth is evident,

One day all of us have to depart,

To make way for for progeny,

The truth only knowing,

When,

Until then,

We benefit much to enjoy our stay here,

Lest we regret later,

When truth…

What is the truth and what is its meaning

We spend our lives to seek the answer to

This question which forms the basis on which

We build our beliefs and moral code of life

The answer though simple does not reveals

Itself to all and everyone of us because we need

To explore and look deep into our soul to find it

The prompt;

You may choose either the picture or the words or both, andlet it take you wherever it does.

Please credit the photographer if you choose the picture as your prompt.

Reena’s Exploration Challenge #94

I threw away the box, so that all of my thinking would stem from the same place, one where war was bad and peace was good.  By all means, I am not a paragon of virtue, but I had to find the truth and the meaning behind it.  I had to discover if I was being forced to hide my true self under a mask in order to keep my sanity.  I needed to investigate the whole body of real things, the events, and facts that were actuality pertinent, so I could find the story behind the truth.  It hit me like a bag of bricks when I finally learned the untold truth.

Politicians never solve any problems, as they always go back to their same issues, so nothing ever gets done about gun control, or healthcare or immigration.  All of the politicians are deceiving yellow-bellied cowards and the guy…
