Day: July 19, 2019
paint with light
she is the light
that brings vision
to my day
she paints my world
and life
in infinite
colors
and I can’t
look away
BrewNSpew Café July 15- 2019
There is a tempest raging in my head
There are conflicting emotions warring
The critic wants to be let lose to wreck
The power of negativity and find faults
While the optimist wants to see sunshine
And roses everywhere and be pleased
With everything that it finds around it
Who should have an upper hand I ask
Or should both learn to exist in harmony
A balance where I can see the faults and
Correct them, count the blessings and
Exists in a plane of reality not in utopia
The prompt;
Word of the week– tempest (noun) – a violent wind storm. Synonyms – squall, storm, gale, hurricane, tornado, typhoon, cloudburst, monsoon, snowstorm, blizzard, windstorm.

But it is the treasure box to keep, love happiness and sweet memories.’

Craving Time for Battling Cupcakes – Daily Quote
Walking life’s balance beam is a never-ending struggle. To keep your poise on the girder, requires vigilance, checking your footing and making tiny adjustments. The first step is to identify your basic needs. Do you depend on your weekly Mani/Pedi or can you skip it? How much sleep, exercise, and family time do you need? These key components ensure you maintain your stamina. With these keys on your calendar and your task list current, you won’t miss events, double book yourself or have to pull all-nighters to hit your deadlines, which helps to relieve stress. Still, you can’t control everything, and you will run into challenges.
However, a detailed timetable illuminates pressure points. These are areas where you expect failure. Knowing these situations exists allows you to devise backup plans and identify who might help you. Give yourself permission to say no or defer an activity to a later date. Then commit…

On writing
Grateful for this moment
With this day I complete 300 days of writing continously and publishing my works on WordPress.
Gratitude for the creativity from within and thankful for the experiences that allowed me to go into witness mode.
As a writer there is a space for thoughts to collect and flow as and when you feel like it.
This gathering of thoughts is moments of reflections in ruminations
Of life experiences
Of circumstances
Of happenings
Of situations
Of silences
All resounding reverberations in the responses to the resonances.
Writers need to be grateful…
Writers without pressure
Are at ease to allow thoughts
To seed as they germinate
And settle as they arise in time.
A far cry from spoken words
That simply must happen
When the speaking happens
For it its often relentless in the flow
Unchangeable and undoable
My gratitude extends
To writers and my readers alike
For…

Potter
“She is a beautiful piece of broken pottery, put back together by her own hands. And a critical world judges her cracks while missing the beauty of how she made herself whole again.”
― J.M. Storm

A ball of sagging clay in your hands
taking shapes
between the ridges of your fingers
getting knead by your
bony knuckles of the long taloned hand
those slender fingers
which only an artist adores
You shape and mold me
and put indentations
gives shapes to my dreams and desires
and cover up the cracks
the unforgiving time has left in me
You pinch and prick and
accentuate the
beauty laying hidden in my soul
for the whole world to see
in its grandeur
and makes those wavy patterns
those ripples in time
the sweet memories
which stays,
etched in my mind
You baked and caked me in the
hard harrowing oven
to stress those lessons
which…

A rare grace
The tactless remark fell into the cacophony
Causing a hushed silence which was deafening
She blushed with embarrassment but there was
No way to retrieve the words that were scattered
Into the universe like leaves which are blown
By the autumn winds to the four corners of the world
The object of her remark showing a rare grace smiled
And diverted the remark like an arrow which had missed its mark
Engaged her in a conversation, earning her gratitude
What a generous gesture it was she felt doubly humbled
A lesson learned and forever ingrained in her mind
