Walk the Glittery Path

Remember to walk the glittery path this weekend!

As we wound our way around the village and walked towards the woods near Dove Lane, the path beneath our feet sparkled in the sun. Looking more closely, I could see there were hundreds of glass chips embedded in the tarmac. I had never noticed this before; maybe it was the direction of the sun or the time of day, but the effect was magical. The path glittered like something out of a fairy tale…

EPIPHANY

“Let your love be like the misty rains, coming softly, but flooding the river.”Tonight, I understand the first part of this Malagasy proverb. The misty rains fall. Ever softly.In fine droplets.Coating the leaves and concrete, my hair and face.With soothing coolness. If it is sustained through the night,then perhaps, I just might see how the river floods. 23.06.2023@9:38 pm thelovepoet Image…

Love Languages: What Are the Love Languages In Africa

Love Languages: What Are the Love Languages In Africa

Affection is express in diverse and unique ways but how well do they interpret the love languages? Love is like young rice: transplanted, still, it grows. (Malagasy proverb) What is the meaning of love? A lot of times the word love/ am in love is usually employed but what is the meaning of love and how do we speak these love languages? According to the Oxford dictionary, love is an intense…

✌, ❁

✌:  favourite proverb/saying from your language? Malagasy people love proverbs!! We have tons of it, use it in our daily life, even on our traditional garment, the lambahoany!

“Mandeha tany tsy maintsy lavo, miloloha rano tsy maintsy lena”, the closest translation I can give is “we fall as we walk, we get wet as we carry water on our head” (we buy water in Madagascar at a dispensary). It basically means while living we experience inevitable pain.

❁ : which language(s) do you think of as the most beautiful? Hmmm, this one’s really hard for me as I don’t know much about other languages than the 3 I speak, and as a language student I’m just going to say every languages are unique and has their own beauty!!! (lmfao to be honest I just want to speak every languages on earth lol)

but thank you for asking, this was so much fun, made me consider making a blog about my country haha

Silken Threads of a Spider’s Web

Words are like the spider’s web: a shelter for the clever ones and a trap for the not-so-clever. --Malagasy Proverb

Summary: The Spider of the Tangled Shore has managed to trap many into his web of deceit, and one-sided dealings, but a new arrival on his shore unknowingly threatens to unravel all he has built.

Rating: M for blood, violence, cursing, mind-altering chemical usage and sexual situations. (Warnings will be included at the beginning of each post.)

Reading the Wind/ Casing the Quarters (Part 1)                     Next>

 As the eliksni known as Spider held court at his new temporary headquarters he received a new visitor. A human visitor. Ah, a female human visitor. Her armor was minimal, mismatched and mussy. But underneath the filth a feminine silhouette. A ratty green scarf twisted around her neck. Her chin was tucked in behind it with her mouth almost unseen.

 The human obsession with being a unique individual had helped him decode them by personality and occupation, based only on their clothes. This one screamed, “down-luck drifter.”

 For Guardians it was even easier. Bulky armor. Titan. Hooded cape. Hunter. Long robes. Warlock.

Sometimes they were colorful, and a feast for the eyes. This one was not. Inconspicuous. “Nothing to see here.” Secretive. Suspicious.

 The visitor tugged her scarf down, with a gentle sigh. She had only glanced in his direction and dipped her head in an a polite acknowledgement , but he had diverted his attentions back to his console after his quick once-over. She blinked at his “throne” a spider tank walker. The ropes that helped suspend it led her eyes to his collection of ghosts. She averted her eyes quickly. His restless movements, finally grabbed her attention.

 His new visitor, was now captivated by the ghost he fiddled with in the palm of his upper right hand. Too captivated. Using a subtle sleight of hand, he vanished it out of sight. This caused the diminutive human to shake herself out of her stupor. Her once slackened jaw, and open mouth formed a harsh line. The curiosity that burned in those eyes shifted to wariness. He huffed out a short sound of amusement.

 “Welcome to my Shore. I must congratulate you on getting this far.” That was not empty praise. Scorn, the new House of Dusk, assorted escapees from the Prison of Elders, refugee Awoken, stranded Red Legion, even the abominable Hive, had inundated the Tangled Shore. Some were outright hostile and some were very desperate. Well, more desperate than usual. Luckily for him desperation equaled profits.

 “What brings you here to my Tangled Shore?”

 She shrugged.“Vanguard business. Specifically, support for the Guardians.”

 Since the Queen Mara Sov had opened the reef to guardians, new visitors and new business was being thrown his way. New competitors, too. The breakout at the Prison of Elders, was a complication he was looking to twist in his favor, like most things he did.

 “Food caches. Housing. Trans-mat vectors. Vehicle grid. Starship refueling. Those will be my prime focus for the time being.”

 “I noticed you didn’t mention weapons or the like?”

 “I didn’t want to cut into your business.” She twisted the word until it came dangerously close to an insult. He pretended not to notice.

 “Smart. As long as you stay smart I see no problem allowing you to stay.” He waved her away with one of his free arms. “Enjoy your visit.”

 And from there his troubles began.

Hiking, cooking, sunning, reading, listening, planting, exploring.  A full fun day. Day 83- nope, day 63.  Although really what’s the difference?
