This is a piece prompted by a song that I’ve searched out to listen to the day before yesterday on Saturday. It’s a Mandarin song and my rough translation of the song title is “Betrayed Youth” even though a more correct one would be “the Youth we Turned our Backs on”, which seems too muchContinue reading “A self-reflection on Youth”

It was time to say goodbye…
This is a line invented by Laurie in response to the poem I Save My Love by Marjorie Saiser. It was time to say goodbye. I have not said much goodbye that sticks in the mind. Then again I tend to be forgetful. Out of sight, out of mind, as my best friend once saidContinue reading “It was time to say goodbye…”
Adventures aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 28
Estella’s voice came over the intercom. “Seems Hue’s upgrades have given us a massive speed boost, we’ll be there in a matter of hours, compared to the couple days our previous trip took.” “Impressive, let’s hope the upgrades don’t cause additional wear on ship components, getting spare parts this far out won’t be easy, asideContinue reading “Adventures aboard the Chen Xing- Chapter 28”

Who can resist that?Continue reading “2 week NZ itinerary without a car in 2023- Week 1”
Adventure Abroad the Chen Xing- Chapter 22
The interior of the building stood up to what was advertised outside. There were machines halfway set up for building something and other machines in another part that looked like they were for tearing things apart. A collision of different minds wanting to build different factories squashed into one. “This place is a disaster.” AuroraContinue reading “Adventure Abroad the Chen Xing- Chapter 22”
For…
This is using the form of the poem Prayer in my boot by Naomi Shihab Nye which essentially uses the For… motive repetitively. I am an atheist so I’m not writing fors as prayers, I guess these are more my contemplations. For the breeze that caressed my face. For the shards of light from theContinue reading “For…”
Moonlake’s Movie Discoveries
I figured I would do something differently in place of the usual reading related posts.

So this post will be in the spiritContinue reading “Moonlake’s Movie Discoveries”

Enjoy: The songs we could have been singing, the dances we could have danced, the words we could have spoken… howContinue reading “The songs we could have been singing”
