a cooking pot and twisted tales
Thoughts and Tales…A Lifestyle Blog with a Zing.
Nothing catches my interest like ordinary people going about their normal life.
Over time, I have taken so many photos of others.
I find humans of all walks of life beautiful and fascinating
Some have inspired stories in my head and some have roused curiosity to want to know more, but there’s so much you can get to know 🙂

A happy Easter to you.
May the gentle spirit
And guiding steps
Of Jesus Christ,
Be a beacon in your life.
Let the love of his pure heart
And the wisdom of his words
Remain a light to your feet
And a lamp to your pathways.
May the Grace of God
from the deep and above
Rest upon you and yours,
Now and always.
Shalom!

He was not fearless.
As a matter of fact
he was always filled with trepidation.
Yet he always found the courage
that galvanized his actions.
He walked into the burning house
and grabbed the little child.
He knew his soul would haunt him forever
if they burnt to death.
Never again he said to himself.
The memory of his mother
and his little brother
forever seared in his mind.

Would you lend a hand
To help those hands
Hanging out of the pits
reaching for someone
anyone to help and give a tug.
*****
Would you lend an ear
to help listen to that sad soul
who needs a simple shoulder
just to lean for a bit.
narrow or broad, any shoulder would do.
*****
Would you lend a voice
to say no to violence
to help push a cause
that fosters human well-being
a common need for us all
*****
Would you lend a dime or two
to help a brother break some bread
for not everyone that you see that begs
is really a lazy never-do-well.
Some fell on real hard times
*****
Would you help to whisper a prayer
in the silent abode of your heart
for an ailing stranger
whom you know not
hoping that things will be for the best
*****
What would you do to help
those painful eyes
those limp, bruised arms
those hungry souls
those voiceless ones
*****
Would you silently help
or would you shift your eyes
pressing the phone aimlessly
in an attempt to appear busy.
and simply walk on by?

It’s already weekend this way
And a Spring break weekend too!
I tell ya, it feels good 🙂
Now let me grab me some munchies.
Have a great weekend y’all.
So, I will just cut to the chase of the matter and attach my photos for today’s photo 101 theme ‘scale and observation.’
I am so totally knackered and my brain is running at half tank from insufficient snooze.
