The immeasurable offers an escape from targets. The abstract allows entry into a world of subjective interpretation. Infinity is the defeat of the finite. Eternity of the soul beats Death. It leaves us at the intersection of beliefs and life. Weekend Writing Prompt #477
It’s not easy to choose between black and white. They make the choice infinitely more difficult by opening up a spectrum of colours in between, placed over an ambiguous grey sky. I decide to place the clouds in the bath, and the rainbow in my wardrobe. “Dissolve yourself in ether. You need to be the … Continue reading Rainbow Lyrics
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

I’m fascinated by astrology. And the author who ignited this was Linda Goodman. Her storytelling skills were excellent, and I started to see the behavioral patterns she described for different zodiac signs.
