In my Dreams

What cities do you want to visit?

In my dreams I would visit Cities, Towns and Villages that are being torn apart by discontent and worst of all greed and avarice.

I would have a magic powder that I would sprinkle that would bring people back to their senses and make them realise that the future needs to be somewhere where everyone wants to go.

Namaste. Thank you for reading.

“They were there.”

Daily writing prompt
Tell us one thing you hope people say about you.

Well what nicer thing could anyone say about you than you turned up and you were there.

You see that is the crux of everything. So I will consult my wondrous AI imager and see what they come up with.

And that for me sums it up, whatever happens be there for people if you can. I know we can’t always be, but we can only try and it is after all what makes the World go around.

My Epitaph.

Namaste and thank you for reading.

Two Bites at the Cherry On This One

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.

Ah Special Something , as there can and will be many Special Somethings, I will ask my AI Creature again……

Somewhat different from my first Special Something, but nevertheless quite wonderful. Reminds me of the rolling hills of the dessert , without the dreadful appearance of the Beckham’s in a Landrover Safari in Dubai or indeed worse, whatever could be worse.

Hopefully this answer will be accepted as a post….. here goes.

Namaste. Wonderful people , thank you for reading.

My Day at Something

Tell us about your first day at something — school, work, as a parent, etc.

Ah again Digitally Created Prompter, you are guilty of worshipping the number One!

First, may or may not be the best. Nice so many can remember some of the details of their Special Something.

My Special Somethings sometimes happened on Day One, but then again they may have happened on Day Two, Three or Four, or any other figure that you can think of.

Either way they were Special.

Analogizing Life was bad enough, but Digitisation seems even shallower.

So I turned to AI to maybe capture a picture that summarised ” A Special Something”

AI Created “Special Something” and I love it.

Thank you for reading. Namaste

Oceanographers of the Soul

O sovereign silence, you are the unbounded sea—calm as prayer, smooth as polished glass, hiding universes beneath your paper-thin, trembling skin! Your surface speaks nothing, whispers everything—a magnificent deception of stillness that breathes with the ancient rhythms of unmapped depths. What terrible beauties writhe in the midnight corridors of your hidden heart, what storms rage […]

Shadow Shapes

What are your favorite physical activities or exercises?

I have a little Pinkie

It’s like a little Winkie

Some say that that is Lude

Really they are just Rude

For my Pinkie likes to Wriggle

And my friends they always Giggle

A Rabbits Ear or A Witches Tongue

A little bird when Spring has Sprung

To tell the truth , and verify,

There’s no need to tell a lie,

It isn’t just Pinkie at all !

All my Fingers have a Ball!

Everything is Dandy and Right

Until my mum turns off the Light

Admiration

What is something others do that sparks your admiration?

Crikey , the reality is there is not any person in this World that I don’t admire for getting through the day without hurting or wilfully being nasty to anyone. Yes , you can try and improve things for yourself , but how wonderful to improve things for everyone and not be egotistical about it.

Namaste . Thank you for Reading.

Cartoons were fun

What’s your favorite cartoon?

Cartoons were fun,the slapstick of Tom and Jerry always seemed amazing to me.No one ever died and revenge was hopeless.Everyone lived to fight another day.

I don’t think I’ve watched a cartoon in a long while,although animation as an art form certainly has its ‘place.

Possibly some high art form would be my thing now.I think I started watching a Japanese animated film about a young boy who tries to look after his sister after losing their parents in the war,I couldn’t watch it to the end as it was so sad. The little girl died of starvation.

There you go,I am glad that Tom and Jerry were around when I was a kid,they gave me  resilience and perspective.

Namaste,thank you for reading
