“How are you?” said I.
“Can’t complain, I got a job,” said he.
“Since being laid off, to live I strive.
Hoping to find a better one
In 2017, under new president.”
“Good-luck, sir. Keep your dream alive.”

Mango
Many years ago, my husband and I briefly lived in Panama. Behind our rented house stood a mango tree that produced lots of fruits. Back then I didn’t like the strange-looking fruit, and let them fall and rot. I even thought it was poisonous fruit. Years later, when I learned that mango is full of vitamin C I began to eat and decided to like it.
Now, the humble-looking mango is my favorit source of vitamin C. 🙂

Freaking Moment
For days
The cat’s gone,
The file’s been hacked,
Text message’s been ignored,
A friend dies,
This is the end of her life.
Suddenly
The cat returns,
The file normal,
Text message’s been read,
Friend reports he is in heaven,
Her life goes on as usual.

she’s susceptible
brooding over
a long forgotten
stupid memory

My painting
Once I was an artist, specializing portrait. This is one of the still life paintings i did on the side. Technically it’s not excellent but I like it. In this piece I tried to capture the concept of a stream of life; when old one perishes new one emerges.
Actual painting is better than the photo. When my novel ideas dry out(?) I like to go back to painting, just for pleasure.

Iris buds in the garden
Broken stems

Mind Reader
Do you believe that mind readers are real? I believe so. We all are to some degree. You might call it extra sensory perception. But there are people who can read your thoughts nearly 100 percent. They know your past and present life, what you are plotting for your next book, and so on.
Some individuals abuse their mind-reading abilities. If you don’t like what they do, they harass you or even slander you. Obnoxious behavior, indeed. If you suspect that you might be a victim of such outrageous people, you might be right. Don’t be angry. Anger is not only a poison to your mind but also it makes you susceptible. Calmly sympathize with the person for having such low self-esteem.
I wonder what will happen to our society if everyone learns how to read people’s mind and abuse what they learned. I am healthy, mentally and physically. If you don’t believe this post, just ignore it. Thanks.
