The Purple Panties…Flash Fiction

The frilly purple underwear fought the peg that held it to the clothesline as if in protest against being held down. Its vigorous flapping attracted the attention of several eyes’ – it was simply the prettiest thing in sight.

Casting second, third and fourth stealthy glances, imaginary thoughts of its softness encasing and caressing the skin was worth taking the risk.

With no one watching, in a quick flash of hands, the clothes pin was removed, but the gust of wind was faster and the flowery slip sailed over the fence and attached itself to the radio antenna of a van zooming past.

In dismay, he watched the van weave its way down the street with a purple slip of silk waving in mockery.

Bullet Points…

Life is not a powerpoint presentation where everything
is captured and simplified into bullet points.

Children caught in bullet points of achievements
die tragic deaths in lettered words of administration.

I love these quotes from yesterday:

What About You? Affirmation Challenge Day 18

I am a miracle of life. I am born for a purpose. I am purpose-driven. My days will be long and satisfying.

As commonplace as human life may seem because we are 7 billion and counting – other living things excluded – every single one of us is a miracle of life. Every single one of us is chosen.

I love these quotes from yesterday:

DancingPalmTrees: Perfect Love drives out fear based hate. If we were truly perfected in Love immigrants and refugees families would not be ripped apart and the children placed in detention camps. Bible scriptures should never be used to justify hate, racism, bigotry or discrimination.

https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=1+John+4%3A18&version=NIV

ChattyKerry: I am an astonishingly strong woman who persists in the face of chronic illness. I am kind, loving, thoughtful and work well in a team.

Bernadette: Creativity is a wondrous gift and one that has no expiration date. Annika Perry

Ageofaquariusweb: When I count all that I have, I have more than I have not. MAYA ANGELOU

Thoughtsnlifeblog: I am a strong powerful soul. I am fearless and capable. I am peace and in peace I am strong.

JanMalique: The very centre of your heart is where life begins – the most beautiful place in Earth. Rumi

Naive…

Image result for government images

she laughs
at the naivety
and the smallness
of their minds

they think that
vampires only walk
and feed
in the dark

in broad daylight
these beautiful monsters
blend seamlessly
into the crowd

We shouldn’t be shocked when government administrations do things that are reprehensible even in the name of God. When the handwriting is on the wall and we choose to close our eyes to the signs, we simply unleash wickedness in high places. When you vote, vote with your conscience. Search your heart for the truth.
