Strange? Me? No.
True my CDO tempts me to collect, sort, and rank. It’s comforting to #pursue perfection, it keeps my violence at #peace. We don’t think bout it too much, do we? Don’t have the #energy to memorize everything, just license plates. We're not #kooky at all.

A rust red
Cardinal
Perched
On a hook
In the patio
On this
Clear new day
Whistling a melody
Of classic
Mistletoe mischief

Trauma becomes
Dark mist
speaking in tongues
Only peace
Spoken from lungs
with love
Can stop its stings

With barely a whimper
she left on the early morning tide
my beloved selkie
who'd just blown my mind
I thought she was a woman,
and was turn'd into a cold fish
As a cold wind blew
I was left to mourn her departure
as she bobbed up and down
in the waves of the cold ocean

May #peace be yours
prosperity and happiness
in the years to come
and that love sustains you
through the days good and bad

It wasn’t hard to finish reading Joyce’s ‘Ulysses’ but Tolstoy’s ‘War and #Peace’ was another matter. It was a club I’d never #belong to and just wanted to #throw the book over the #cliff. No, I will not try to read it again.

There was unfinished business for her in Najarind. The city still had not given up its secrets to cure Lalli. She dreamed of the serene tree-fringed pool in Iyessa where only the rustle of branches troubled the thoughts. Would she ever know its peace again? #whistpr #vss365

They hustled across the Ember Plains where scores of #incinerated_victims cried out. Zuthra caught a sulfuric breath. “We gotta hurry. We don’t #belong here. It could #throw us into a #dream.”
“What?” Talmon zipped by. #Prayer of #peace coming!”

with one fire dwindling
like a #dream, up in smoke
another smoulders
#peace in a tinderbox
rage fueled by the innocent
while #casual hands wring
warming on the flagration
their charges mould building bricks
from calcine and memories

During a time of grief when my own life didn’t matter so much to me,
You held out a branch of friendship that brought purpose and #peace to my life.
So many affect our lives positively, some we tell and some never know.

Starcat says
each cosmos begins
with a wink
she yawns silvery
stretching time
into thinking space
or a word
Starcat says
found inside a moment's peace
these beloved sparks
to imagine better worlds
#whistpr (beloved, peace)
Thank you, Helen, for your delicious writing prompts. 🧡

Let us not turn up
our noses at the White Flag
(let alone blow them into it),
instead, let us find
the truth/truce in our hearts,
that - with the exception of
some obstinate war mongers -
we all want #peace.

1999 Y2K “Cecilie, are you ready for the festivities tonight?” Cameron asked her, as they stood in the driveway that connected their properties. “As ready as anyone else,” Zhe’ra laughed. “Afraid of the fearsome Y2K bug Cam?” Her son had lost his wife a few years ago, cancer is an awful disease that she couldn’t help her with in time. Toby, her grandson, had moved back in with his father when his wife left. Together they had raised his son, Thomas. Zhe’ra had become a bonus aunt to the family. Which suited her fine. They still thought her the daughter of the lady who had lived her before. “I’m not,” Cameron continued, “But poor Thomas is doing his master's in information technology, I’m sure he must be!” He laughed. “Well, best get in and make sure the turkey is ready. Come on in around seven, and we’ll eat until the sky lights up with rockets!” She acknowledged him as she went into her own house. Sending a quiet prayer to the Light that Thomas would be sensible and not party outside all night, the city he was in was cold enough for people up get frostbite indoors! A few hours later, dressed in a modest black dress she knocked their door and was welcomed in, greeted by the lovely smells. Cameron and Toby both looked so much like her dalliance in Munich so long ago. Striking men. She was lucky they’d never had a romantic interest in her. “Let’s toast to the end of a millennium!” Toby said, lifting his glass. Unaware how old his neighbor actually was… “Let’s relinquish the worries of the past, toast up a new beginning!” Cameron added. Zhe’ra lifted her glass too, “And toast to no conclusion of existence tonight! Y2K is just a worry for the young!” The two men looked at her. She wondered if she should tell them who she was. No, the time isn’t now. “That’s oddly specific,” Cameron said, “No conclusion?” She smiled. “Reading the news, it seemed the world is ending tonight. I don’t think anything bad will happen. Maybe someone will get an extra zero on …
“That’s oddly specific,” Cameron said, “No conclusion?” She smiled. “Reading the news, it seemed the world is ending tonight. I don’t think anything bad will happen. Maybe someone will get an extra zero on their bank balance – or one less. The world will keep going. It’s just a phrase. I’m old fashioned that way.” Cameron and Toby laughed, “Cecilie, you’re the same age as me! Are you saying I’m old?” Zhe’ra tried to move back from the metaphorical cliff she’d placed herself at. “You’re right dear neighbor! Shall we eat?” They ate and enjoyed the evening. Watched speeches talking about hope for peace, and prosperity for all. Thomas called his father just before midnight, lamenting not being there with them. Apparently, he was spending midnight with a girl he’d met recently, one he wanted to introduce them to in the new year… “To the New Year!” Toby said, handing Zhe’ra and Cameron each a glass of champagne! “Maybe I’ll have a daughter-in-law soon!” “To the New year” Cameron and Zhe’ra both echoed back. “Thomas will find his way, let him finish his education.”Cameron turned to Zhe’ra. “And a toast to you! Without your generous gift we never would’ve been able to let him pursue his education so easily.” “I live alone, I inherited a lot of funds, why shouldn’t I help the last child my mother helped come into the world! She always spoke of you all with so much fondness. I think she considered you all family.” Cameron went in for a hug. “She always was part of my family. And so are you, practically a cousin!” Zhe’ra went home, feeling happy, the world was changing, but still here. The computer still worked, the tv still showed celebrations. She’d spent the turn of the millennium with her kin. And she had a feeling young Thomas; young Thomas would be the father of the one she waited for. When he called his father earlier, she’d got a feeling. The girl he was getting to know now was the mother. Now all she could do was wait – and dream of what comes next…
The final vignette from Zhe’ra’s life, as she celebrates the end of a millennium with the people she loves.

Peace was a whisper,
A fairy tale of times gone
By, war is paid for.

Perspective: looking down, seeing plaid pants and converse shoes standing on a rock peering into a pool of dark water reflecting trees.
Not going lie, though I've been largely absent as of late, I will miss the #whistpr prompt. Seems fitting to leave it with this contemplative photo from last fall.

Peace
Will I be able to reconnect with those that have chosen to disengage? Those that were important in my life. And are just gone.
Ghosts - yet just a fingertip away.
That's not really up to me.
My door is open.
I can only hope.
I'm not sure what that word really means.
