There’s no going back to wonder why it did not happen once you realise that it has not happened, and it’s final. There’s no point in missing out on the cornucopia that comes only with acceptance. Weekend Writing Prompt #480
Acceptance
LHS 1140b
Thanks for sharing the prompt on History of Earth! My research on Planet Earth led to a very interesting fact. Scientists have just confirmed the presence of an atmosphere on a rocky, Earth-like planet called LHS 1140 b, located about 48 light-years away. This marks the first time an atmosphere has been detected on a … Continue reading LHS 1140b
Webs
PARATAXIS It is hazy. It has no definable colour or shape. It has a pattern – known but never acknowledged. It is the web of tiny lies spun like a yarn to clothe truth. It is the black hole that will explode rather than reveal its secrets. The Emperor’s new clothes are the grandest spun … Continue reading Webs
The Perfect Myth
Perfection is nothing but a goal, and goalposts can shift. It feels good when I move it and challenge myself to excel at something I’ve not tried before.

Escape

A Point of No Return
The spirituality of climbing up a mountain often overpowers the physical discomfort. I touch earth, yet am detached from the plains I have grown up on. I inch closer to the sky, and am compelled to shed rooted parts of myself that limited my view. I see the world in a totally different light. I … Continue reading A Point of No Return
The Ledger of Life
WordPress has a curious way of motivating its writers: “You are on a --- day streak.” For a time, I lived by that counter. I posted every single day — more than 500 in a row — just to keep the streak alive. The challenge was simple: don’t miss a day, don’t break the chain. … Continue reading The Ledger of Life
The Journey of “I”
The MTB prompt at dVerse hosted by Laura Bloomsbury asks us to play with definitions. The lyrical prompt line by Bob Dylan I have chosen is I write on these spindrift pages I --- a simple pronoun, but at the centre of existenceand all conflicts in the world.(Is it possible to relate to something without … Continue reading The Journey of “I”
