Hey guys
I don’t even know how February went by, didn’t even realise we’re three days into March.
I’ve just not been up to date. What with all that’s going on.. outside in the world and inside in my mind. It’s crazy.
I couldn’t even finish Sandra’s wst Challenge.
And Monty’s weekly Golden Shovel Challenge comes to an end with this prompt- “The sky is blue, or the rain falls with its spills of pearl” from “Spring” by Mary Oliver
I do like this prompt and I think it maybe my favourite.. here goes
There's a whole world out there in the midst of my chaos. But all I can see is the sky for it's all I can comprehend. It is vast and endless, so very blue. It reminds me of freedom or actually of choice, but really it's the same. I fail to reign the chaos, and now rain Rain pouring, thundering, crashing down, it falls Drowning out everything else, taking with it my sorrows. It's catharsis, in it's purest form, urging the spills from my fractured soul. Of light and the dark, maybe I'm better shut off in my oyster like the pearl
Yeah I know how this sounds.. but I think it’s pretty apt
I also saw someone’s post about the A-Z and I freaked out for a second thinking it’s already here. I’m no way near where I want to be with my writing. I know exactly what to write but it’s just the writing that is not happening. Only if there was some thing that could convert me writing in my brain, to words on my screen..
If you’re also interested in taking part in A-Z but have no idea what it is about.. take a look here. Here is a detailed outline of what this challenge is about, the rules!!! This is their official website and all of the important deadlines are right here!
Mar 7- Theme Reveal OPEN
Mar 21- Theme Reveal CLOSES
Man I gotta buck up!
If you do want to see my previous entries for a better idea of the challenge- here is my work for the year 2020 and 2018. I didn’t finish my 2019 challenge. Also please excuse the style of writing back in 2018, that was my first ever attempt to write a series!
With all of that.. I should probably go resume my writing for the challenge.. but I think Chess is calling my name.. (I’ve recently been insanely obsessed with chess, oh and wordle of course! But damn you for limiting me to one play a day )
xo
Hey Dream, nice to see you back again! Love what you wrote on today’s challenge! 🙂 Good luck with your chess game! Hope you won! 😉

Yeah I didn’t finish the WST challenge either. Some of the prompts were a bit too dark for me. I am seriously behind on the A to Z prep. Crossing fingers I can get it together in time.

I’ve been procrastinating about A to Z. I’m totally planning to do it, but I really should have gotten started sooner. Oh well! If you end up doing it too, then I look forward to seeing your posts!

I had to skip last year too. Personal stuff happened. But that just makes me extra eager to get into it this year!

Beautiful piece Swapna! We all are feeling some angst about the state of our world. Focus instead on the joy and keep spreading it. You have a beautiful energy and the world needs more of that.
