“Vanity of vanity. All is vanity,” so says the prophet Qohelet in the Book of Ecclesiastes about life. It does seem like life is all about chasing the wind. There are days when, saddled with the routine of everyday, I find myself engrossed in an internal conversation about existence.

JUST AN ORDINARY LIFE
My day begins and ends attending to my baby. In between, I am busy taking care of the needs of a rather large family of seven: feeding, schooling, refereeing four bickering boys, and meeting their demands. There are dishes to clean, clothes to wash and fold, a house to straighten up. On a goodContinue reading “JUST AN ORDINARY LIFE”
MUMS AND DAFFODILS (for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge – Close-Ups)

MORNING DEW (for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge)
The Angels tossed kisses on the grass last night while the moon bathed the ground with its silvery light and while the world was asleep God gathered them all and strung them into gems to wrap His gift of a new dawn. The other night, our family camped in my in-laws backyard. The sun floodingContinue reading “MORNING DEW (for Cee’s Fun Foto Challenge)”

Open palms reveal the lines as on a leaf, mirroring hands fate and fortune connect veins of flowing blood mingling lives No one is an island. ~~~~ The words, too, are a zig-zag, put together on the fly, going this way and that and ultimately, somewhere. I hope. Thank you for coming by. 🙂 WPC: Continue reading “WPC: ZIGZAG”
