In a world of money launderers the Unexplained Wealth Orders began to seize property and turn it over for the social benefit of the poor. It was the start of political and economic chivalry, the dawn of a new age of a new kind of knight with very different swords and armour.
Puddles grew as if the land of Narnia had sent them to fetch us, their surfaces dancing with each perfect individual sky-gift. How odd, through Sheila, that rain is cloud born yet Earth borne, as if a reflection of the relationship between the heavens and creation. It was as if that summer rain came to remind us of the natural reign that stayed within each soul, souls born of heaven, borne of mother Earth, each needing her support and nurture.
Cleaning up for each other was an important step in re-educating our brains - that we have team-mates-for-life, that the individualistic competition of the old age had passed already.
Its fiery wings glided softly past me, bring warmth into my body. It flew once, twice around me, finally stopping to rest on my shoulders. Its body is like blazing fire, burning brightly even through impenetrable darkness. A fire is the light in the dark, while the phoenix is the light of my world.
Bottle in the Sea
To Whomever Receives This Bottle:
I never expected that I'd be lost and forgotten to the world. I suppose I write this hoping that perhaps you will remember this note sometime after you finish reading it, and in that way my memory lives on. Somehow that's enough. Now listen closely, if you've found this bottle it means that even though it has been tossed to and fro by the waves, perhaps pulled by the undertow and cracked against the rocky reef, it still found you. With that being said, life may break you, but know you are too strong to shatter. Your journey is your own. Do not be afraid if it's perilous. Take heart. Face your worries for they will be too afraid to face you. Ride the currents, do not let them control you. Listen to your heart for it is more than just a beat. The one you seek will find you when you least expect it, and they will give back what your journey has taken away. Your boat, your guide: you chart your course, not anyone else. Take responsibility for your faults, but do not apologize for them: they are what make you human. Dwell not on your mistakes, because your mistakes will sail you on the greatest adventures.
The farmers grew enough food, the builders built enough homes, so why all the hunger and homelessness? What's going on and why?
The cobwebs in those trees were the jewels of the spider's world, an art constructed yet welcoming the gales that swept them away and created canvas anew.
"I don't know why I split myself open for someone who would never even bother to show me the thread."
I can't live without you, anymore. Without you, what is the purpose of my existence? If I will embrace you, I'll embrace my soulless self.
Because it is you. Only you. You are my life. You're my pain- you're my relief. You are my love.
What is your relationship with me, that I can't afford to stay a moment away from you? I live for you everyday, my time is devoted to you. No moment is a moment without you. Your name is etched on each breath of mine.
I have lived only for you; I am prepared to die for you. Your thoughts gave me the emotional support I needed in your absence. They took out the grief which presided in my heart, but now the melancholy has returned with thrice the effect.
You are my lucky-clover. I am content with you.
But all these years, that I've tried to stay away, tried to keep you safe from my evil clutches- they are heart wrenching. I can't endure the pain anymore!
It can be hard sometimes. Now and then we will choose the wrong way, a bit like moving against the grain.
We can ruin the wood we call life.
This can be hard to take back, since the damage has already been done.
It will scar you for a while, the mistakes we make but eventually it will fade into the past.
A simple decision can ruin our lives, but only you can choose whether to hold on to the past pain or let it go.
We combined the feasting tradition with the greeting tradition with the home-baking tradition to make the most ecological Christmas cards imaginable. If we combined those traditions into one we cut out waste. So our Christmas cards were home-baked cookies of so many varieties, then we iced a beautiful message on top and gave them to our family, friends and community. Everyone had enough sweet food without buying anything - and of course we shared with everyone who needed food. Even if the cookies weren't the best in the world - they were all the world to us, they were the love that was around us all year.
They were more like shadows than physical beings - lightly resembling humans-shape wise, but only black smoke. Each form rippled whenever it moved like disturbed water. The only way I knew they were looking at me was the white eyes with a slight blue hue that stood out against the darkness.
