Ikigai
I’m impressed by the Ikigai diagram, but the book fails short of expectations. Viability of a project matters - whether it is business, art, a social enterprise or development of an individual. It takes resources to make a project viable. What happens if the desire is intense, but resources are not easy to gather? I … Continue reading Ikigai

Mother Earth
Mother Earth ….by Eugenia
in all of darkness
there glows the moon
day birds soon ring in
the early morn,
kissed by the sun
a crown of laurel
grace rose-colored
mountains, while
78 seas bask in
sun-salted air neath
quilted clouds gifting
silvered droplets upon
mossy forests,
lush and green,
to nourish and protect
all living things and
all of life,
Gaia,
her legacy the very
soul of the earth

I miss Chris Hall who is not keeping good health, but she did a wonderful job of writing parts of her novel to the Six Sentence Stories prompt. I agree that writing to … Continue reading Multiple Prompts

Reena’s Xploration Challenge #249 – Legacy
Look what’s in the archive …. by Lady Lee
He took his great granddad’s watch from the drawer and looked at it one last time. He wore it on his wedding, a pocket silver watch from 1919, with a silver chain and a silver medal at the end. The medal was won by his great granddad from rugby and it still has the encryption of his name and the year. Ah, great legacy! When the son got married six years ago, he passed this silver watch to the son. There was a feeling of pride and loyalty when he saw his son wore it on his wedding.
An old silver watch
Passed on by his great granddad
The son now has it
Sing a song of praise for these men
Generously with love
Scribbled pages they left by then
Gaze up they sang above
Generously giving their lives
Remember their children and wives
Generously give
