You Know What?!

Crochet artist who is an avid reader, who contemplates & scribbles her thoughts to share.....                                                                     You Know What?!                                                                                       Usually my thoughts bug me while having my morning cup of tea but today not bargained for in the least; they have come to harass me at the wee hours of night. And as I sit here typing away, my prodigal prodigy enters the room professing that, "Mom as you know I'm closer to my 'you know what' date of my month & our caddy is out of ...

Crochet artist who is an avid reader, who contemplates & scribbles her thoughts to share.....       Right there, in the middle of the high vaulted ceiling of this empty Sanctuary stood a colossal mirror.      Perturbed by the contrast that I saw & what I had expected, warily, I walk myself towards the mirror scrupulously.      Y in the world would this place be even salient? Mirror? Really? All that buzz...over a mirror? Agreed it's framing is objet d'art & it has intricate gold panels. It rests on platinum poles that support it from center all the way to the floor instead of being hung on the back wall.      High domed ceilings, no windows to let or reflect light. It's open during day & closed at night. No candles, no flowers & no incense sticks ever spread their smoke here.       Forlorn, eerie almost wraithy if you ask me. An intense feeling of foreboding fills me as ...

Crochet artist who is an avid reader, who contemplates & scribbles her thoughts to share.....                                                       If you have read post : https://sarikajaswani.blogspot.com/2019/07/crochet-artist-who-is-avid-reader-who.html                  This post will try to elaborate on it. Being reactive vs being receptive. Distinction, marks our littoral zone. Away from roving, spasmodic, anxiousness of the sea. So many things affect the sea.....the wind, the moon, the sun......endless. And sea like a teenager with a bunch of nerves keeps tossing and turning to every nuance. In contrast the littoral zone, takes it all in, the drubbing & the trouncing without a sigh. Its impressionability doesn't define its affectibility or becomes the reason for its identity. On co...

Sagacity.....Where do you live?

Crochet artist who is an avid reader, who contemplates & scribbles her thoughts to share.....                                                                                                 It was like the Sun, throbbing, pulsating, radiating......................She couldn't help but heed it.  Her thoughts, speech and actions gravitated towards it. Helpless, powerless, up creek without paddle, purblindly she would dog her footsteps as dictated.                              This sun of hers was a black-hole & also the reason for the light in her universe. It was powerful, imperious..... that which demanded complete submission. She felt like a mercury.... ti...
