This week’s prompt from Sunday Scribblings is ‘Left & Right’.
 
Left and right are partly tight

a complex brain on show.

Is it for art and gifted thought

or logic and ordered rows?
 
Or is it a fact,

that the colour is black,

or that white really means,

there’s no colour sheen?
 
Up is quite different,

than down could be,

the impact may depend

if it involves money.
 
Doors can be open,

or shut as you please.

A case can be both,

swinging amidst with ease.

‘As Queen of the world I will expect compassion and respect to be shared among all.
 
My world will have the following rules:

• Freedom will be available to all
• Resources will be shared
• Peace will prevail
• War, as a word, will no longer be used
• Currency will be worthless
• Neighbours will share life
• Enemies will lay down their arms’

It makes me sigh to think of such a list. Our world can be tough, depending on aspects of culture and socio-economic situations and seems like a far cry from the original plan.
 
Today’s post is following a prompt from Sunday Scribbling. See here for more Sunday Scribblings.

Hmmm, this weeks prompt from Sunday Scribblings is to write about a time when I felt powerful. It’s a tough call for me to think about feeling powerful when I am facing possibly the most dis-empowering experience I will in my life, however it was a good exercise to think about all the things that I need to gather around me to keep feeling powerful. I realised that I don’t have control of the cancer in my body but I do have control of so many other things, such as:

• how I choose to start each morning
• how I treat those around me
• the words I choose to use
• my ability to pray
• the expression of my faith

So actually I do feel powerful right here, right now, even with everything that is going on. So hopefully reader, you might feel inspired to find powerful things in your life today too.

Today’s writing is for Sunday Scribblings and this is my first attempt so here goes…

Am I a collector?

A collector of words? Absolutely

Of people? Sure

Of things? Yep, way too much quilting fabric or scrapbooking supplies

What is a collector? ‘A person who collects things which are separate’ according to Brainy Quote. Which make me think…are things ever separate or are all things inexplicably linked?

Being the mother of a little one I don’t have much else going on in my life at the moment so I emptied my handbag/nappy bag for research.

It contained the following:

• Wallet
• Keys
• Mobile Phone
• Hand Cream
• Spare nappies
• Nappy and face wipes
• Mail to be posted
• Spare change of baby clothes
• A couple of spare toys for distraction purposes
• Tissues
• Sunglasses
• 2 clean bibs
• 2 packets of biscuits for snacks

Hmmm, they are all seemingly unrelated items but in my life, they represent my attempt at being organised enough to leave the house at a moments notice.

So I guess that I’m a collector, of all the things in my life that I require to complete my day.
From my day to yours…..Have a great one!
