I ran hard and far
to outdistance my pain
But, when I got lost
my pain found me -
caressed me, wordlessly
and carried me Home.

How about yours?

‘This #book should be consumed in tiny pieces, thoughtfully, savoring each delicious morsel in small bites, allowing the sumptuous flavors to come alive.
“True ##poets, like mystics, are messenger pigeons,” says Labadidi. He is at heart a poet who will appeal to anyone interested in short and memorable sayings to live by.
Quarantine Notes is a book of #hope for the universal spirit.’

Life has been too busy of late so I didn't post about it yet, but this happened recently! The Algorithm Will See You Now was selected as the bronze medal winner in the Reader's Favorite awards for best medical thriller!

Thank you, Nariman Youssef, for the rare pleasure of seeing my words translated into #Arabic 🙇🏻
يتساءل الشعر
في اعتداد بريء
هل يمكننا
بإعادة ترتيب الكلمات
في جملة
أن نعيد ترتيب العالم؟
#Poetry wonders,
with innocent grandiosity:
Can we reorder the world,
by rearranging the words
in a line of verse?

Mystery of Doors
Every jammed door has its trick
how much pressure to apply
where to push, just so, how deep
at what angle to jiggle, pull out
So, too, with the apparently
difficult doors of opportunity
that stubbornly balk at all rattling
yet suddenly yield at the key moment.

241 followers · 952 posts · Server writeout.inkThis Moose Thread is brought to you by, #WritingTreat where we talk about everything between our writing/focus sessons, because we're a bunch of Neuro-a-typical people, who just have our minds wander A LOT.
Sometimes we only have one focus session the entire 2hrs, because we can't stop talking about weird stuff.
It's a support group not just for writing, but for life and being neurodivergent in this world.

Such are the daily dilemmas of a writer...

Bel and Freddie tie the knot. Aside from that, Lix has a burning question. She needs answers.
