Poem: "Everything Happens for a Reason" This poem is spillover from the February 4, 2025 Poetry Fishbowl. It was inspired and sponsored by . It also fills the "Morning-after Regrets" square in my 2-1-25 card for the Valentines Bingo fest and the "And I'm the monster?" square in my 10-1-24 card for the Fall Fest Bingo. This poem belongs to the series Quixotic Ideas. It directly follows "The Separation of Powers," so read that first or this won't make any sense.**"Everything Happens for a Reason"**They had flown for much of the nightto escape the centaurs who hadtried to enslave the two of them.Luntian had taken an arrowthrough her left wing, butshe had plucked it out andhealed supernaturally fast.A forest clearing offeredthem a refuge at last.Datu managed to getjust a few hours of sleepbefore birdsong woke him.Luntian looked down athim, her body back inits usual configuration."Are you ... havingmorning-after regrets?"Luntian asked him warily."Life is too short to wake upin the morning with regrets,so love the people who treatyou right, forget about those whodon't, and believe that everythinghappens for a reason," Datu said."Most people would be angrythat we had to fly so far away,"said Luntian. "It's a concern.""We needed to escape, andyou got us away," said Datu."If you get a chance, take it.If it changes your life, let it.Nobody said life would beeasy, they just promisedthat it would be worth it.""Do you think this hasbeen worth it?" she said."Considering the alternativewould involve an auction block,this is definitely worth it," he said."Then the question is what to donow," said Luntian. "I am too tiredto fly any more for a while, but wecould walk in search of a road.""That's probably a good idea,"said Datu. "I can't go back home,though -- I'm afraid that someoneat the school may have toldthe centaurs about me."Luntian sighed. "LikelyI was betrayed as well,"she said. "Most humansdon't like me much, so theythink that sort of thing is fine.And I'm the monster?"Datu reached out andcovered her shaking handswith his own. "You are _not_a monster," he said firmly."You saved me yesterday.""You saved me too," she said."I doubt I could have escapedfrom the centaurs by myself.I'm not used to people actuallyhelping me and ... meaning it.""I see you, and you're not alone,"said Datu. "So once we find a roador a trail or something, let's figure outwhere we should go next, together.""I grew up moving around fromone city to another, but I've heardof bagwis villages in the mountains,"said Luntian. "We could look for them.""All right, that sounds good to me,"said Datu. "I bet they don't havemany problems with slavers!""Well ... not for long, anyway,"Luntian said with a laugh.* * * Notes:"Life is too short to wake up in the morning with regrets, so love the people who treat you right, forget about the ones who don't, and believe that everything happens for a reason. If you get a chance, take it. If it changes your life, let it. Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it."-- Harvey MackayTags: cyberfunded creativity, ethnic studies, fantasy, fishbowl, poem, poetry, reading, weblit, writingCurrent Mood:  busy |

Photos: Making the Hippie Strand Today I made the hippie strand. I've been collecting parts for about a month, although the rainbow nylon cord is left over from a previous craft.This kind of craft is easy to do and versatile. You can suit the colors and motifs to anything you like. It only took me about an hour to make, and part of that was fiddling around with the camera so I could take pictures of the process. Some folks like to do these in a workshop where you can choose different cords and embellishments. It can be called a strand, string, braid, cord, thong, dangle, or various other names but it's basically just a long thing with pretty stuff attached to it.( Read more...Collapse ) Tags: crafts, how to, personal, photo, photographyCurrent Mood:  accomplished |
