Ghostlight
Haiku series inspired by Troi David Loy’s Fractal
Ghostlight
Infinite centre
Gathered wisdom in patterns
Ghostly shapeshifter
-
Energy collects
Swirling, expanding, dark space
Mythical portal
-
Reflective marble
Purple and blue, pulling in
My own consciousness
-
Where will it lead me
This portal in space and time
Do I dare go in?
-
Leaping forward now
Into the void I tumble
Lost in a fractal
-
Event Horizon
Infinite iterations
Destined to tumble
-
Through dimensions, space,
time become eternity
Gone, lost forever
Neurodivergent Meandering Through Fractal Space

Dec. 24 - Earth Rising
*** December 24th *** On December 24th as Apollo 8 made its journey around the moon, accomplishing the monumental. There, on the moon’s horizon, a spectacular sight. Small, blue marble rising up over forbidding grey, cratered landscape. Three men could gauge the insignificance of our world, set in the backdrop of space, a rare gem shining in its setting, illuminated by an insignificant star in an ocean of millions of stars. Three men could assess the individual contributions and achievements of any of the small people on the surface of this iridescent sphere and see the utter meaningless of any of it in relation to the rest of the universe. Borman, Lovell, and Anders, instead, looked to the greater unity, the whole and saw a place of wonder. “…Merry Christmas - and God bless all of you, all of you on the good Earth.”

Whispering Woods Challenge Winners
Congratulations to Morgan Christy Rickards for their winning Whispering Woods story, Guardian at the Gate. Morgan has been a Vocal creator since February 2021, and this is their first time placing in Challenge — well done, starting with a win! Guardian at the Gate draws evocatively from Welsh tales of the Cantre'r Gwaelod, a lost sunken kingdom between the forest and the sea. Heledd’s dangerous adventure pulls her towards the water but her spirit is anchored in the woods: Morgan’s writing is atmospheric and exciting.
