"… What’s a “holiday”?’"
Posted on Fri, 20 Sep 2024
"… What’s a “holiday”?’"
Oof...that's a powerful last line leaving all kinds of issues in the reader's mind. Of course, we often take holidays for granted but many don't get them for lots of reasons. Maybe it's the child's first holiday....

Posted on Sat, 21 Sep 2024
That's an interesting analogy - slaying the far-right dragon. Maybe although we tend to over simplify with labels and terms. Social unrest only really goes away when the root cause for the issues are resolved or at least seen to be given time and...

"..when trees flecked with fireflies in magical lightshow,
flickering rhythm encountered as lightening flashes.."
That's a highly visual, magical sequence of images. Just gorgeous, Jenny.

Posted on Sat, 14 Sep 2024
There's a sense of euphoria at the story's climax. Yet still the frailties of the human condition shine through. As ever, you lead the reader through a tale that reads like a modern fable. Enjoyed as always.

"..bring peace in some measure where there’s fighting now.." Wise words, Rhiannon. And more relevant than ever with the conflicts currently ongoing.
I so hope that "..love will flow earthwide.."
Beautifully expressed words.
