"for here there is no place that does not see you. You must change your life." ― Rainer Maria Rilke

On Saturday afternoon, as dusk was falling, Algy had observed that a box marked "Urgent Live Plants" was delivered to his assistant, too late in the day for her to do anything with it other than put it in a safe place until the morrow. Upon enquiring what was in it, Algy learned that it was a consignment of snowdrops "in the green", and that they needed to be planted in the garden without delay, for they were living, growing plants.

As his friends will already know, Algy is particularly fond of snowdrops, for they emerge from the darkness as heralds of the spring to come, and their resilient flowers brighten up the start of the year when little else in the wild west Highlands of Scotland shows any sign of life at all.

And so, on Sunday morning, Algy volunteered to help plant them out, as there seemed to be rather a lot of them and there was evidently no time to lose. Wrapping his scarf around his neck against the bitter wind, Algy set to with considerable eagerness, doing his best to dig a hole in an area of dry ground beneath some trees and shrubs where the snowdrops were destined to grow, but he soon discovered that not only was the soil full of matted roots and very difficult to work, but a fluffy bird is apparently not at all well adapted to the tasks of digging and planting.

As he struggled on, wondering how on earth he could possibly manage to plant ten of the snowdrops, never mind two hundred, an inquisitive robin hopped over to see what was going on, for there are few things which interest a robin more than a wee bit of digging. Perceiving that Algy was experiencing some difficulties, the robin sang a snatch of a motivational poem to encourage him, safe in the knowledge that he could not be asked to assist as he was too small…

Algy muttered something unintelligible and decidedly un-fluffy under his breath, but then looked up and smiled sweetly at the robin… and tried again, repeating the robin's song…

When you’re up against a trouble, Meet it squarely, face to face; Lift your chin and set your shoulders, Plant your feet and take a brace. When it’s vain to try to dodge it, Do the best that you can do; You may fail, but you may conquer, See it through!

[The robin is quoting the first verse of the motivational poem See It Through by the 20th century British-American populist poet Edgar Guest.]

Maybe, just maybe, in another universe we were meant to be.

Then maybe there would be an us

instead of just

a you

and

a me.

Poem: See Hope, and Shine.

[shutterexplorer]

Rise and Conquer

When darkness falls and doubts arise, Lift up your gaze, embrace the skies. The road is rough, the climb is steep, But dreams are yours—yours to keep.

Each stumble, lesson; each fall, a guide, Strength is born where fears collide. Storms may rage and winds may roar, Yet every trial unlocks a door.

Rise again, don't turn away, The sun still shines beyond the gray. With every step, with every stride, You shape your fate, you turn the tide.

So chase the dream, break every chain, Through fire and rain, through joy and pain. For in your heart, a fire burns bright, You were made to stand, to rise, to fight.

Empty pages

used to intimidate me —

now, I see them as

freshly fallen snow

awaiting angel arms.

Don’t you know?

Winging it

still takes wings.

call me an underdog, and i'll feast on every chunk of meat your body before i drag you to your grave.

i just watched the final fight of creed, i was screaming and throwing jabs like, i'm the one taking those punches inside the ring. hands down to the best final fight scene after rocky and southpaw.

Wildflower

Far away in the lush green meadow

Sways the little wildflower

Suspended in the scorching sun

How it cogitates its mighty glower

Niether the robust blows of wind

Nor the tremendous patter

Can simply bring it to bear

And let its courage shatter

Head held high, gazes the sky

It dreams to probe its depths

Adamant to meet its desire

It slowly heaves the steps

Its petals gleaming with bliss

Let's the sensation to overwhelm

Gliding in the clutches of the sparrow bird

It bids farewell, soars off to another realm

[kaywrites23]

If my life was a book, meeting you would be my favorite chapter.

bitch this is all you’re gonna get. this life, this face, this body. you better not ‘maybe in another universe’ your way out of everything. sit your ass down and face this. go make tea and have a picnic and read a goddamn book. kiss your loved ones, send that damn text, and hug your siblings. this is all you’re gonna get.

I am not sorry

for following the fire

or ripping the extinguisher

from your ashy hands.

Without you,

I will rise.

Without you,

I will ignite.
