Back and forth
South, north
Standing, talking
Chuckling, walking
Sights obscene
Sounds unwanted
Hands untied
Mind haunted
Slithering, bickering
Criminal lingering
Intentional bling-bling
Ghostly thing
Raw umbrella
Soaking rain
Blasphemous traits
Sunny smile
Same disposition
Different demeanor
Oppressed and angry
Hanging in tight
Level head
Wide birth
Bronze hair
Brown lion
Ghostly play of sights and sounds
Run-down dogs and dirty hounds
Broken nuns in brown bikinis
Purple sinks and eerie scenics
Elevator pitch for nothing
Boiling mice and peanuts cushioning
Blows to the head and heart below
The banks are growing inward
If I spoke
with the air of blossoms
but had not your love
lifting me towards
the heavens,
I would be as an
uprooted tree
in winter’s wail,
catching my branches,
snapping my soul
on empty winds
which strike
with malicious hands.

My hands hover
halfway in the air,
swelling the blood in my limbs.
I have attempted to sort through
signals and sounds scratching
in my head, crowding my conscious.
I have said I want Your will,
want to do Your will,
but on whose terms?
I claim to taste Your calling,
but I am warm in my bed
without a reason to release
myself from the comfort
wrapped over me.
You say to deny ourselves,
and I admit I cannot deny
this pulsing inside me,
steady, picking up speed.
You move in me,
twisting open doors
I’ve bolted in place.
For they are not my chambers
but Yours.
When You speak I want to listen.
Where You point I will follow.
My heart is hooked to the
back of Your caravan.
Here am I.
Send me.
Watching my hands, the palms, and seeing the lines
I remember my mother telling me:
“You’ll have a son and daughter, I see the signs
And a long life, and lovers, this I see”.
I never had a child to call my own
Or I had one – could I have forgot? -
Lost in a dream or nightmare, in the unknown
Dark of my past old life: in a weak spot.
And in my palm she saw my life, and what
She desired for me. But I trampled on
All what she wanted. I made a cleaver cut
With what she was. She had to agree upon.
They say you have to look at both your hand to know
Which one will be your future: your other hand will show.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

www.nanowrimo.org - writing a 50 000 word novel in 30 days -
In 2008, I left my former life and one of the first things I did was nanowrimo. I wrote with a frenzy and obsession in a way similar to the way I had lived my life until then. It was a novel of ordinary office workers who had super powers in an alternate universe and saved the land of Zetoec from ultimate destruction but a price was paid. That year I wrote more on a blog about writing than I did in the novel. Personally it was a year of truly understanding my obsessions.
In 2009, I wrote "Inside Her Drawers" ... about a woman in her later years that is afraid of letting go of "her treasures" for she believes that it is only those treasures that keep her alive. Naturally, those treasures are lost at a time of significant change and the old woman dies. During nano last year, rather than do a blog, I posted a pic a day on Flickr as inspiration to keep writing and in doing so learned to trust the process. It is through that habit, I reconnected with the world in a way I did not imagine possible, and through that process of trust at a broader level I am where I am today.
Today in 2010, I will start nano for the third time. And for many reasons, today is also a day of new beginnings. As with the other years, I don;t have a specific storyline in mind - it will evolve ... I have a vague concept and I know the process will take care of its own. This year I want to honour the child, and especially the child within ... this year (hopefully) will be a children's story. I do know that there is a camel in this story.
.. and there is no better way than to start a story and a new beginning than with a blank sheet ... happy nanowrimo-ing and happy futures :)

Christina had the Young Adults take an adventure in creative writing. First they went through some creativity exercises to loosen up the mind, then they wrote a story!

Tired and dark, eyes are a pool of dream
Hoping in vain for rest, blinking and red.
Humming under my voice, I sing my theme.
When time is a dry brook, I float downstream
Letting the gloomy thoughts drop on its bed.
Tired and dark, eyes are a pool of dream
- Closed - to avoid the smallest gold sunbeam
- Open - to see the word that’s still unsaid.
Humming under my voice, I sing my theme.
The shade shows far away atoms agleam:
Maybe they’re real. Maybe I’ve been misled;
Tired and dark, eyes are a pool of dream.
I saw the lightings explode in my bloodstream
Pulsing away in colours as they bled:
Tired and dark, eyes are a pool of dream
Humming under my voice, I sing my theme.
(Villanelle by SiRiChandra)
