This is the long grass that grows in a sixty-acre field just fifty yards from my home. There is nothing notable or special about the grass, it’s the kind of plant that takes full advantage of somewhere we don’t take much notice of; it seeds by chance, is grown by apathy and lives out its life on poor soil.

The point of roses
Flowers are a waste of time. You can’t eat them… or so my dad vowed and declared most of his life. His bugle shaped Gramma Pumpkins grew crazily on his woodpile. Mum, the Culinary Queen added sultanas and nuts to transform them into tasty, sweet pies for our dessert bowls. For years, flowers were grown by Mum… including vibrant nasturtiums (edible ‘bread and butter’ flowers).

The Struggles Of Wigan: A Real Story
The Struggles of Wigan: A Real Story Wigan, a town in Greater Manchester, once thrived as a significant centre for coal mining. The echoes of hard work and dedication lived on in its streets, celebrated by the families of miners who carved their lives in coal and grit. But after years of economic shifts and policy decisions, Wigan faced a harsh reality—a struggle exacerbated by changes in immigration patterns and a government that seemed to favor others over its own.

Teenage Me vs. the Technological Apocalypse
Going through old boxes of life’s accumulated detritus can uncover forgotten scraps of the past and send one down a rollercoaster of intense personal sentimentality, which is why I tend to put it off. It’s more than just the cringe of seeing one’s former-self, or worse, reading things this familiar stranger has written. These discoveries may cause pangs of embarrassment, especially when it is a collection of relics from one’s teenage years, but it is important to pardon oneself by remembering that the person so revealed, in form or thought, was subject not just to the zeitgeist of the era, but also existed without the benefit of a fully developed brain.

While on a bridge
“I’ve always loved days like this.” “What do you mean?” “When the sky is black and there’s still light from the sun.” . The truth was she loved and cherished contrasts. They were somehow an expression of her self. She had always been this bookworm, the perfect student with a promising career, but at the same time her thirst for freedom had lately taken the lead. In this she was his mentor. He had only known about school, school and school and then the world of academia: he was about to finish his PhD in Quantum Physics. They met in a conference at the university. They clicked after a brief exchange and after a couple of months of attending events together, she told him she was leaving soon to South America and he decided to join. “I’ve never done something like this before and I think I should,” those were his words; though his intentions were indeed of a different nature.

ARCTIC BLAST
It's January. It's Winter. It's that time of the year when it snows. Except, snow rarely descends and covers the Dallas, Ft Worth area. Yet, the area is known for its occasional Arctic blast ice storms. Arctic blasts with ice storms are dreaded. Snow is a hundred percent better than sleet and ice.

Home away from Home
When I think of home, many memories flock my mind. What is home for you. Better yet, where is home. You will be Surprised by how much many people can’t summarize this question with just one word. A simply question yet it, consumes such a broad answer.

Breaking the Depression Through the Lens
In the early 1980s, my brother graduated from high school and spent a year working for a local moving company while deciding what to do with his life. Our mother insisted that he attend a Christian college, so he looked for a school that would allow him to play baseball, and he eventually settled on Covenant College because our middle sister had discovered it and recommended it to him. Covenant is located on Lookout Mountain, Georgia, just across the state line from Lookout Mountain, Tennessee, where the famous Rock City can be found.
