Small Trouble
“A Small trouble is like a pebble. Hold it too close to your eye and it fills the whole world and puts everything out of focus. Hold it at a proper distance and it can be examined and properly classified. Throw it at your feet and it can be seen in its true setting, just one more tiny bump on the pathway of life.”
~ Celia Luce

This morning it felt as though I woke up into twilight.
At some point, twilight became dawn, and dawn was no where to be found.

The Lesson I Grew Up With
One of the lessons that I grew up with was to always stay true to yourself and never let what somebody else says distract you from your goals. And so when I hear about negative and false attacks, I really don’t invest any energy in them, because I know who I am.”
– Michelle Obama

Arthur’s Introduction to this piece
I have looked at how my world has changed so much and how creative we have become and the extent of magic we can pull up with our creativity from our devices and everything. However, I also felt the need to talk about the downside of all these great things and how people don’t fit. I played the part of the architect generation and how I am happy to see the delusion, the reality and all the glamour of everything and how it seems to all play into my grand plan. As such, I titled it. A THOUSAND MEGAPIXELS. Enjoy. Continue reading A Thousand MegaPixels

Birthing Emeralds
An original Piece by Apoetsbrain ©
One great man was mocked because of his lifelong efforts to bring about peace in his community.
This man worked, strived, suffered and later died for peace.
He will be seen as a peace maker, the reconciler, the forgiver of many many wrongs.
He welcomed generosity, and begged that each man care for his neighbor. Continue reading Birthing Emeralds
A New Calling
Written and composed by: Destina Godwin Ekekeh ©
On a fizzy cold day, while taking my conventional morning ride,
Cycling down the usual path at a speed faster than the speed of light,
The seemingly unending lane with trees and leaves cascading through,
With the constant quiet and lonely pace,
Left with my wildest imagination, Continue reading A New Calling
