(I)

early morning walks

fresh air opens up the soul –

sacred space haven


(II)

alone in this space

gone are the shrills of the world,

answers come to mind

Synchronicity

His eyes turn red, and muscles tense up - the onset of another manic episode. The synchronicity is uncanny - it happens after he worships the picture of his dead parents.. It is time to leave … history and characters in it.

vanishing truths

silent hush discovered as

cloaked tempests brew lies

the coming of the calm is

embraced in a sacred place

PROMPT #180

So, here we go with our prompt word for this week

MILESTONE

life looked so insipid

until I realized

I have achieved a milestone

all along my life

love and affection

of all near and dear ones
what a fool I was

to overlook

what was so near me

and

searching for

distant accolades

Internet Dating

Internet dating …..by Jim Adams

newepicauthor's avatarA Unique Title For Me

Ever since social-distancing measures have removed the ease of meeting people from the equation, I have been thinking about finding a dating site, but I am not sure which one to choose.  I am not interested in any of those hookup sites, as I am not looking for flings, I don’t want to date married women, and I am not really after casual sex, or sex with no strings attached.  I just want to meet a normal person that lives in my area and have my own sacred space where I can chat with them.  I would love to find a dating site where I don’t have to answer a bunch of questions, and I can just browse profiles.  I don’t believe in soulmates, but I am certain that there is somebody out there that would be compatible for me.

The last time that I was involved in online dating…

Finding Home

Finding Home …. by VJ Knutson

VJ's avatarOne Woman's Quest

Do we have to be away

in the heart, comfort
in the soul, blessed home

I have felt Presence

The home I seek is
an inner sanctum
a whisper, a cry

a longing answered
only in moments of pure
simplicity, in stillness

this noise we create
this distancing, is only fear
and forgetting: products

of original separation
a projection of abandonment
remembering, experiencing

the numinous, the sacred other
brings me back home
and I am no longer lost.

Why I think I’m a Feminist

Empowered Women's avatarEmpowered Women

Why I think I’m a feminist – a personal perspective on feminism

I am, without doubt, a feminist. I have subscribed to the belief in the social, economic and political equality of the sexes for almost as long as I can remember. My attitudes have been shaped by my upbringing, influenced by societal expectations and honed by life experience.

I was brought up to believe in equality and in women’s rights.

I grew up in the UK and as a child of the 70s and a young woman of the 80s, my generation’s older sisters had laid the foundations of feminism. Underpinned by new legislation in the 1970s, the Equal Pay Act and the Sex Discrimination Act, women were set on a more equal footing than ever before, but perhaps the biggest trigger for change was the widespread – and free – availability of the contraceptive pill in 1974, which…
