The Gift of the Present
For the present to become a present
there needs to be a past;
for me it’s a Pandora’s box
spilling out into my psyche
images, memories, wishes,
unfulfilled dreams.
I try to jam the lid tight
but it doesn’t help;
my past is here to stay Read More

Miriam, this is powerful.
Every word pierces my heart.
“Eyes never lie
Even when they’re blind”
so, so powerful.

She stands out in the vast wilderness
Her face reflecting the ferocious storm
Alone with thorns and sporadic dandelions
Strangled by their devastating warmth
–She wistfully scans the dark horizon
As she longs for her memories of home
Devastation keeps the night hostage
Trapping the sunlight in its evil tentacles

Gently, she gathers her skirts…

Your eyes
Are blind
To the scars
I carry
To the harm
I tally
To the terror
I dodge
To the pressure
I dislodge
My eyes
Are burning
With the scars
I carry
With the harm
I tallyWith the terror
I dodge
With the pressure
I dislodge
And my soul
Somersaults
Out of control
And my throat
Hammers
As life denotes
Whilst my heart
Quibbles
And slowly departs
And my eyes

Reply to Processing the Pain: The Unfathomable Situation in E"Y
I’ll be honest. I have two extremely raw pieces that I wrote that I’m thinking of posting on this thread.
But I also found Riva’s Geulah thread. And my heart is pulling me in that direction. Not because I have what to post, but because I so badly want to be in a place of yearning and hoping for the geulah.
I’m still dealing with my pain. Still…

Reply to Processing the Pain: The Unfathomable Situation in E"Y
I went through a phase of complete numbness. I couldn’t write, couldn’t think, couldn’t breathe.
I took an ( unwanted ) break from Masterpiece and just stumbled upon this thread.
Every single word simultaneously pierced my heart and wrapped it in a bandaid.
Pierced it? Because of the obvious.
Soothed it? Because now I know that I’m not alone 💗

Thank you all so much for sharing this 💗.
There is something so unique about the Jewish Nation. They can try to kill us again and again, but we will always turn to hope to get us through. -

Hey y’all lovely ladies.
Life gets hectic. Things happen. Some things are beyond our control.
But I haven’t stopped writing.
I haven’t stopped reading.
I haven’t stopped saying that I really should get onto Masterpiece.
Well, here I am.
There’s so much I missed out on over the past couple of months. So much I want to share. So much I want to read.… -

OP here. And… Drumroll. At long last, the sequel has been written. Because, his nervous mother notwithstanding, Eli has not forgotten about Sluggy.
Enjoy.

Check out this awesome AI detector. It’s pretty accurate. I tested it many times, and it only made one mistake. (it thought my college report was AI:) I wasn’t sure if I should be honored or insulted🤔
I was reading a review on amazon, and I thought it was written REALLY well. I sent it to my friend who’s a copywriter, and she said it’s definitely…

I dream of a world that is not the same;
A world where all people know Hashem’s name.
I dream of a world where nobody kills,
Where none of the people suffer from ills.
I dream of a world whose main focus is good,
Where everyone strives to do as they should.
A world with a House of gold where we go,
Where our love for Hashem we are able t…
