Reena’s Exploration Challenge #Week 60 – The Girl.
Michael’s take ….
The girl woke up to the terrible realization she was late.
Yes, she and her boyfriend had been busy, she’d in secret gone against all she was taught and now there looked like unforeseen consequences to be paid.
She lived in a small town where everyone’s business was everyone’s business, and soon word spread she had been seen at the hospital. There was no way to hide such a thing as a teenage pregnancy, and pretty soon she confessed to her parents who horrified their good name would be besmirched quickly took steps to remove the problem.
The girl was rushed to confession to purge her soul of the sin, and then arrangements were made for her to spend the time of her being with child in a place far from their home.
The girl was sent away, and for a time she was never spoken of. When the time…

Sibling love, or no love …. by athling2001
That which is unspoken becomes unspeakable – Adrienne Rich
The rules remain the same. The format can be prose, poetry, a combination of both, a memory, anecdote, review of a book you read, a photograph or work of art or just a fave rant. I look forward to meet all thoughts.
It was never spoke about, not in so many words, and never aloud. Truth was, body language was enough to scorn her for the rest of her life. She never got away, not like I did. Never had a sweetheart because when she was at the age to find one, Dad got sick and she stayed home to nurse him.
He never spoke to her unless to ask for something and then he spoke more to the air than her.

Grow A Conscience, Please!
Money rules, but how? A contemplative piece by Susi …
So, you think money is at the root of all evil? You know what they say about clichés – like bumholes, everyone has got one. It’s a phrase that you say when it’s not really been thought through.
I would offer a different view. The bad intentionbehind the use of money is the root of all evil.
Think about it.
Money isn’t all bad. If it was, why would we be trying so hard to make it or get it? First and foremost – it’s for our survival! We do happen to live in a society where money is required to buy the bare necessities. Whether it’s to pay rent or a mortgage for shelter, money for food when we’re hungry or the doctor when we’re sick; these things need to be paid for. Money IS what meets those needs. And money gives us a small amount of…

Genius or Idiot?
The meek shall inherit the Earth. It was meant to encourage certain personality traits. In my view, the average will, because going by the Law of Averages, they balance out extremes. The concept of ‘likeability’ actually boils down to being similar to others. Extremes of any kind, or even the different  ones are quickly rejected, … Continue reading Genius or Idiot?
Not for money
Sanah’s take on #MeTooIndia

Reena’s Exploration Week # Week 59
“So you think money is at the root of all evil… “
Well just yesterday I encountered a few road side Romeo’s eve teasing a lonely girl walking down the street.
She was helpless.
Afraid to react to their catcall.
Afraid that things might escalate.
She didn’t dare turn to look.
She hurried and scurried away like she had seen a ghost.
They were doing it for cheap fun, not money.
In another separate incident, I witnessed a rather vile man touching a woman inappropriately.
It was in a crowded city bus, stacked with people.
Not even enough space to turn around.
He was behind her, took advantage of the crowd and was groping her.
She was unable to move because of the crowd and it was too late to react.
Before she…

Chuckle away….
So, you think money
is all that I am after honey
sure you are a bore
and money has its allure
at the root of all evil
is your smile that’s lethal
