Daily missive for Friday the 24th of February.~by Peter Forster

Daily missive for Friday the 24th of February.
What happens to the universal?
It spins around
In exultation
Of its resolve to expand
Whilst we revolve
As the axis
Of our station
The fulcrum of creation.
Sheltered by degrees
Embedded in a web
Of woven relationships
Connections with substance.
Physicality
Embroidered in existential
Reality.
A collection
Of understandings
Surrounded by
The barely known
Overlooked by missed opportunity.
Where will it go
The meaning we have searched for
When we are no more.
Can you now know
Are you with me
Is this your voice
Calling me home
Or a wish yet to be fulfilled.
Is it my yearning
For what has been lost
Or does a part of you
Remain within me.
Why would you waste
Such time
Knowing the shallowness
Of my soul.
Its incomplete incarnation
The cowardly tilt
Toward disengagement
Its embodiment of
Human frailty
Worn with less…

The following is a guest post from Harvey Woods, a therapist who believes strongly in the arts and creativity. He writes about creativity and self-care for a better life.

As people age, they sometimes begin to feel like they don’t have a lot of things to keep them happily occupied. They may begin to feel depressed or underappreciated because they no longer contribute, and not having a good hobby can worsen these feelings.
One of the best ways to keep seniors happily occupied and sharp is to get them into arts and crafts. There are many benefits that older people gain from staying active and creative, and there are plenty of different creative endeavors they can choose from…

Damned~by Paul F. Lenzi

“Inferno” by Marina Petro
(A modest homage to Dante)
abandon hope all ye who enter here
melt into the matrix of unclean souls
become one with the stygian night
a miasma of ill-conceived dreams
swirls in cornerless shadows aflame
with dead screams in a sulfurous air
down unspeakable steps of gauged agony
leading to the basest of sinners who
practiced betrayal as branded by Judas
caught frozen for time beyond end
in perpetual pain of the ice-pit
fourth nethermost ring of the final
ninth circle where the faces of Satan
make meals of the fear and the guilt
come too late to the worst of the damned
Memories Are My Enemy
24 de Fevereiro de 2017, 9:23
By: Monica Pana
I want to let a desire with minimal intensities to master me, thinking that I will not be led by my mind. I want to let the time follow its path without me in its way, but I let the past determine my future without knowing why.
I want to feel any feeling. Because when you feel something, it is more than an emotion, it’s a proof that you’re human.
I’m sick of everything I ever thought that can grieve me. I never thought that the greatest joy is the greatest sadness. That what I love will destroy me faster than people… I never thought that memories are the greatest enemy of mine.
Things are changing and everything goes away and you wait, but you don’t ever know what or when it will come. Why would everything you want come to you? How can you afford to…
