Vintage

They were meeting after three decades – three women struggling to rediscover their identity on the same campus, where they had studied. They reminded each other of their achievements – the path-breaking papers presented, the medals won and the admiration and envy drawn. Life had been a roller-coaster for them after that, as they stumbled … Continue reading Vintage

Infinity still beckons

I would love to be somewhere there spreading wings tasting the sky smelling the wind cutting through light falling back on earth smoothly, softly like raindrops to gladden minds and hearts Infinity beckons….   Are you the One, God who keeps me earth-bound with no wings aching feet myopic vision shrivelling up claustrophobic in closed … Continue reading Infinity still beckons

Revelations

many worlds witness soul of the sky bathed in light and are beholden to constellations supreme awaiting revelations https://frankjtassone.com/2019/08/17/haikai-challenge-100-8-17-19-milky-way-amanogawa-lit-river-of-heaven-haiku-senryu-haibun-tanka-haiga-renga/

Cryptic

Why do disasters happen? Why does ill luck befall? And why do those good-for-nothings have it all? I am no Buddha, but… a lifetime is not enough to resolve the mystery The Maker speaks in a cryptic code. https://girlieontheedge1.wordpress.com/2019/08/14/its-six-sentence-story-thursday-link-up-68/

Stone walled in the chamber I live - ignoring open windows   I heard aeons ago stories of a mirage lessons that got etched in stone   I choose rock-hard security over hints of fresh air changing the horizon   prisoner of my own mindset I’m afraid of being cheated – once again https://scvincent.com/2019/08/08/thursday-photo-prompt-within-writephoto/

Thanks to roller-coasters

Roller coasters start making sense when the churning inside drives one on newer paths. What matters is taking off at a tangent, but the desire for take-off arises only when the comfort zone is disturbed. The new trajectory may take me to another world, but the desire to return to the previous world has weakened. … Continue reading Thanks to roller-coasters

Repository of secrets

“Are the trees guarding territory, or making an effort to break in?” “I presume none. They cannot read the bad spelling, nor comprehend red alerts.” “Nor can I.” “Cheers, my boy! You’ve developed the right mind-set for this job. Now, let’s explore what lies inside.” I’d passed the inane test, but he did not know … Continue reading Repository of secrets
