An event A fruitfly up in the sky wondered why a guy spoke with a muffled voice. *Let's have a peep*, it said and dove deep into the throat to look around for the lost sound. *I can't see clearly without any light I will ask my cousins if they might help.* Through the guy's nose, the fireflies went in with a broad grin. Hundreds of twinkling lights brightened up the nostrils and throat like a Venetian boat at night in the canal. *What's that smell*, a firefly yelled. *Oh…
Travelling *Let's do something*, I suggest, *let's travel a bit*. It's not that I always want to do something, but the fact is that those who do nothing are more likely to do nothing at all and suffer from depression. Bob's life is one big depression and it is definitely not pleasant. Not for him and not for me. The circle of friends around us just like the family that still speaks to us or visits us is getting smaller and smaller. Of course, this may be due to the current…
Porcelain doll Early in the morning, when I am just awake and still in bed the stories are there. A head full of stories that I don't have time to write. As soon as I get up, the day begins. Duty calls, the children call, the dogs bark, the cats meow, the chickens cluck and there is so much to do. Soon I will write them down, I promise myself. It's one of those promises where nothing comes of it. Soon, too, I will be busy and soon I will have forgotten them or other things…
Creative If it comes to writing I am not creative for weeks. I'm busy and have other interests. I never thought I would start gardening, knitting, crocheting, and reading books again but I did this year. I'm free of Big Pharma's medication and do feel better every day. I start thinking all the meds I took during my life kept me sick next to the permanent damage they caused. If it comes to renovating I didn't do much but it's fine. I think about traveling again, and meeting…
Elthbeth "Go away," she screamed and stomped on the ground in frustration. The little fists clenched, a red head of anger and eyes that shot fire. If looks could kill, that fire had long since consumed him and turned him into a pile of ashes. "You shouldn't be here, this is my room!" "Stupid bitch, little pest your mother didn't teach you any manners. It's time young a tone lower." He didn't have much good in mind and no matter how small she was she was flawlessly on to him.…
Freedom! I've had enough! Anyone who claims the countryside is quiet and peaceful is wrong. The farmer does not care about other residents. He works only on Sundays and public holidays. He does not care if there are people who need their sleep or want to enjoy peace and quiet after a week of hard work. The sheep make the road and land dirty and broken. Walking, walking the dog is almost impossible. There is sheep shit everywhere and you have to slither through the poop and…
Celebrating It is getting quiet on the internet and also on this platform Steemit and other social media. Many are busy and by busy, I think of a friend who is always busy all year round. Always there is someone in need, sick, weak, or nauseous, there are problems followed by chaos and stress. Whether this friend is really busy I don't know. After all, it cannot be checked by me. A man is as busy as he makes himself, is an old saying. It is true. I too with my scheduled…
Let go Let go! First thought two children fighting over a toy. A car or doll. It is something both want but wanting something is not good. You are taught that at preschool when you are 2.5 years old. At that age, it is quite normal to explore, to set boundaries and to say no to everything. No is a beautiful word. Yet as a toddler, you are not allowed to stand up for yourself. You are not allowed to have anything for yourself, not to play alone undisturbed but you have to…
Divorce I am not against divorce. My parents divorced at a time it was a shame to do so. My mother wanted to make a new start and had an option to do so in the neighbourhood where her mother lived. My grandmother refused. She did not want others to know her daughter was divorced, a single mother. Having black children was already bad enough. In the k-drama I watched lately I see the same behaviour. Parents who don't care if their child is molested, unhappy or has no voice,…
