College

“Did you see the same thing that I saw today?” “The new girl on the last bench?” “No. The professor caught you napping, but stayed quiet. He smiled at you later when you were looking back.” “So, what’s the issue? Maybe he’s used to it. He gets to look at her without turning back” “No. … Continue reading College

Read the signs

“What if you could read minds?” “The thrill of sauntering through unknown territory would keep me there for some time, exploring different nooks and corners. If I don’t like what I see, I’ll look for the exit door.” “You are under arrest, for failing to read the sign – TRESPASSERS NOT ALLOWED.” https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2022/01/29/weekend-writing-prompt-246-saunter/

Infinity

https://open.spotify.com/episode/3I7swaa8qGukGxzTqBP90Y?si=4d267b36a1dc498e I smash the mirror in which they see themselves. The coating behind is not metal. It’s an element that creates illusions.  I switch off the flattering lights around the mirror, and they are horrified by their own ugliness. Fear grips them. I’m the enemy. I’m the force they need to crush. I’m the iconoclast. … Continue reading Iconoclast

Widdershins

https://open.spotify.com/episode/0zsB7zCQN2K8DUi2DvghXo?si=46b820a7f6cb4df7 Alone, under attack, seen as a threat, victim of known and unknown forces …. this summarises her life. She does not understand why life is so difficult. Why is she unable to glide as smoothly as others, on the path to success? Difficult relationships suffocate her. Somebody recommends a highly acclaimed mystic healer, who … Continue reading Widdershins

Empty space

A creative life

https://open.spotify.com/episode/5xFLfmdC0EAvPv0UAJ4Rbj?si=347c12a0fff74a2e I looked up at Sangeeta as a mentor - my research guide at one stage. The bonding continued over books, coffee and no-holds-barred discussions.  She stayed alone, but connected to the world with her writing. Her amazing clarity of thought often created discomfort, as the paradigm shift created by her vision made people feel … Continue reading A creative life

Caves

Don’t go back there. Those caves are now history. Don’t let them draw you back in. Walk ahead, look at the sky, prepare to fly…… Create another chapter, another cave and leave it behind. https://sammiscribbles.wordpress.com/2022/01/15/weekend-writing-prompt-244-cave/
