In response to "Beauty in aging"

I'm with Sue on doing everything you can while you can Kåre เลียม Enga

Sue, I was a force to be reckoned with when it came to doing things until 3 years ago, and then I took that crazy fall off the ladder. That fall broke not just my feet and damaged two discs in my back and tore the cartilage in my knee but it stole my fearlessness in doing things. Now I find I'm afraid of doing anything that might be risky where I never used to worry about the possibilities.
I've never cared about physical appearances, the things that mattered most to me was doing the things I dreamed of doing like hiking in Bryce Canyon, traveling to all the National Parks, dancing all night with my hubby and then walking together as the sunrises. I've accomplished a few parks and danced with my hubby but not all night and thankfully we've seen a lot of sunrises together.

Grasp life with both hands. While you can travel do it, Kare. It’s the thing which gives you most joy and happiness. The warmer weather will do those aging bones good too. You don’t have to hop skip and jump to enjoy an outdoor food market or just sit and chat to a stranger. We need to find our pleasures where we can before it’s too late. Looking forward to reading your observations from Penang.

I am definitely faded. I'm doing this 10 week trip to prove to myself that I can. I don't hop, skip and jump. 42 stairs up may yet do me in.

In response to "Risky business "

You did take huge risks, didn't you! But I applaud you for every single one of them. I think you are better off for taking all those risks that made you a strong person.

In response to "When I’m no longer here."

I know what you mean about not wanting to go back and edit my work, and I do cringe when people review older work of mine.

I don't have answers either.

In response to "When I’m no longer here."

It is interesting. My Grandmother left some post cards from friends which I read and added to my stamp collection. I have a pair of her earrings also that I saw her wear once. Even elderly she was beautiful. Now I wonder who else may have left written things in Grandmas family.

In response to "Midnight. A story for little ones."

Very nice story. Once on a trail ride. We stopped to eat our roast beef sandwiches. The pony I was riding wanted some and yes ate its share roast beef and all.

It would definitely make a great children's story.

In response to "Revenge"

Revenge is sweetest when it's on the page and not reality.

In response to "Cliche "

Really loved the grittiness of the first poem, taking something that normally brings a sense of wonder, awe and joy into something grim and cynical (and I’m not even really the biggest fan of that style of storytelling). So great job there.

The clock one was eerie as heck, but I loved it. I kind of interpreted it as if the clock turned sentient. Amazing work all around. Faved to reference as inspiration later

Prompt: Moments of Beauty?
Was does "moment of beauty" mean to you, and was there ever a moment of unexpected beauty that sent a rush of happiness through you?

There must be many moments of beauty in my memory bank which were fleeting and disappeared before they could firmly entrenched themselves, so now I’m thinking of recent moments which have made me stop, just for a moment, and appreciate what was before my eyes. Does one need to be old, and may I even say, jaded by life, that there now few moments of beauty and nothing one had not seen or experienced before?
Amazingly no. I’ve discovered I can still be moved by the most simple things. My great granddaughter who is almost three, caused me to see the beauty in a child’s innocence. Her mother sent me a photo of her little one and she had captured a moment of beauty within.
Tears came, not sad tears but tears of joy when I looked at the photo of this beautiful child. It was taken on a summer’s day in the garden. I couldn’t see her face, she was naked, her back to the camera, sun hat perched on her dark curls, and was absorbed in painting a picture on her easel. The subject were flowers, blue and green against the white butcher’s paper. It looked to me like Vincent Van Gogh’s ‘Irises.’
I know realistically a not yet three years old child could be emulating Van Gogh, but just for a second I was struck by the simplicity and beauty of a sunny day, the gorgeous blemish free body of a child who doesn’t know yet the feelings attached to embarrassment, or shame.
I have since had the picture enlarged and it hangs on the spare bedroom wall. A moment of beauty.
