The Lie said to the Truth, "Let's take a bath together, the well water is very nice.

The Truth, still suspicious, tested the water and found out it really was nice. So they got naked and bathed.

But suddenly, the Lie leapt out of the water and fled, wearing the clothes of the Truth.

The Truth, furious, climbed out of the well to get her clothes back.

But the World, upon seeing the naked Truth, looked away, with anger and contempt.

Poor Truth returned to the well and disappeared forever, hiding her shame.

Since then, the Lie runs around the world, dressed as the Truth, and society is very happy..... because the world has no desire to know the naked Truth.

I have seen the weak become the strong, the wise made fools.

I have seen the sun dim for those who expect it to shine, and rainfall on barren lands.

I have witnessed the unpredictability of tomorrow and the reckoning of yesterday.

I have seen shocking shards of dreams made manifest and the ones weaved with care and precision die a mirage.

The world is a theatre of surprises and beautiful twists and turns.

Be humble. Be accommodating. Be respectful. No one is too high that he cannot be brought low and no one is too low that he cannot rise above all others.

We grow up with such an idealistic view on how our life should be; love, friendships, a career or even the place we will live only to age and realise none of it is what you expected and reality is a little disheartening, when you've reached that realisation; you have learnt the gift of all, any new beginning can start now and if you want anything bad enough you'll find the courage to pursue it with all you have. The past doesn't have to be the future, stop making it so. ~Nikki Rowe

Lost by John Michaelson

I’m helpless and trapped in this lifeless void,

Suspended in limbo, arrested and lost.

What am I running from or trying to avoid,

When I know this delay comes at high cost.

My sense of purpose is lost in the fog,

I can no longer see the wood for the trees.

With no motivation I’m as sick as a dog,

I need to escape but I can’t find the keys.

I need to get out of this manipulated game,

Before it destroys me down to my core.

But I’ve lost my focus with nowhere to aim,

All I can muster is to stare at the floor.

This paid slavery system still holds me back,

Keeping me down and drowning in debt.

I fear I’m lost forever and can’t get on track,

My dreams and aspirations I want to forget.

I’ve been lost here before too many times,

This rock and a hard place is not my friend.

But still I manage to pump out my rhymes,

Is this my beginning instead of my end.

I wish I could free myself just for one day,

To give me the time to finish my book.

I’d get lost in my words to show you the way,

So you can read my prose in some cosy nook.

I want to take a risk but have too much to lose,

I’m still lost and tied on this uncharted course.

I know at some point I will have to choose,

If I am the cart or if I am the horse.

Bound by its bureaucracy and sticky red tape,

This no man’s land has stolen my worth.

Lost in its democracy that I have to escape,

For writing is my only true purpose on earth.

No matter how slow you go, the important thing is to leave a mark 🐢🥴

Sometimes it’s hard to look back and see…

So many illusions and disappointments, so many legendary adventures, so many myths. So much life turned into books.

Local cave at St Medans (back bay) in Galloway. The colours are not enhanced, but best seen at sunset and when the cave is still wet from a receding tide. Don't know if it has a proper name, though we do have our own name for it, and I'll leave that to your own imagination!

EDIT: The colours at the bottom of the cave are various algae, many of the other colours (reds, blues, purples and goldish green are most likely deposits of copper sulphides and oxides. Copper was mined near here in the middle-ages...

"I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.”
