Do we leave a bit of ourselves behind in everything we touch, be it pencils, paper, a tree, a chair or even a moment of the day? A place where we’ve been, where the past and present and future collide? When I go somewhere, I can often feel the deep connection to the past. To the people who lived and loved there, to history going back hundreds or thousands of years.

The truth is, we probably do. We are all connected after all, down on the tiniest level, all made of the same stuff. You and I and the table and chair, the flowers…

Whirlpools of Fate

I wonder why do epiphanies not occur sooner than end of dreams why does fate test the fortitude of sufferers till they retreat from war or hit back staying firm, resolute in times of moral turpitude carving difficult paths in slime standing straight with feet planted in whirlpools of fate   (Hidden thought) They retreat … Continue reading Whirlpools of Fate

I found this an interesting concept to ponder over. “ I exist because I act to change the world in bits and instalments, I leave a part of myself in every bit that I touch”.

I don’t think consciously you go about with that in mind. It would be weird thinking this morning I am going to mow the lawn and that act will change the world in some way. It will keep the grass under control, it will make me feel better now my yard is tidy, and the clippings will fertilise the earth.

I think it is best to look in hindsight and see where this applies.

Reenas Exploration Challenge Week 30

Welcome to Week 30!

30 is growing up. 30 is the connecting point between the follies of youth, and a dawning of what seems like maturity. With corporate spans turning shorter, 30 starts a reverse count – how many years more to becoming the CEO? Or where do I go from here, if I am already the CEO? 30 might also see some people raise children, which opens up new perspectives to the world, as one has seen it. Most importantly, the thirties in life raised the question “Who do I want to be?”, rather than “What am I expected to be?”, at least for the older generation.

Here’s the challenge, not an easy one though.

Bottomless Pit of Ignorance

Oh, it was that pesky creature rearing its head again ! Amar fingered the wearable device that he had carried on his expedition. But, he failed to decipher the number of weeks, days or hours that he had spent in this timeless state. There were no calendars or clocks in this part of the universe. … Continue reading Bottomless Pit of Ignorance
