These rooms, in addition to being refurbished with fresh carpeting, lighting, blinds, and oversized white boards, have been upgraded with a number of technological advances.

We are passionate about bringing a relaxed approach while creating beautiful, natural and vibrant images.

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

It was the kind of day she’d loved most. God had etched across the sky with charcoal, and the air smelled of dirt and wet tar and grass. Rain fell from the clouds in inconsistent showers all day. It was a day in early May; as the rain fell it gave new life to the flowers and the trees. And the people.

The house was old and beautiful. It stood on a hill on the eastern side of town, overlooking the small little town that was stuck in the past - old buildings and old cars and old people, people who’d lived their whole lives there and raised their children there and would never dream of leaving. They called this place home. They fished in its lake and shopped in its stores; life there was as peaceful as it’d get in America.

He walked the upstairs hallway of the house. He listened to the rain, paid attention to its smell, its sound. Some of the windows were open, letting in the fresh Spring air. The hallway was filled with too many memories. He’d already felt ardent walking into the house, now he looked at her door, open slightly ajar, and felt an ache in his heart.

 

You can read the rest of the except here

 

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.

You will not turn. A pillar of coarse salt

You will become, a faceless white pilaster.

Leaving your misdemeanour could be a fault

But looking back at it is brings to disaster.

 

You may use mirrors: a mirror is a screen.

Medusa taught you that when you killed her.

She was up to destroy you: yet unseen

You turned and used a weapon of thin air.

 

But now again: don’t turn. Your shoulder blades

Will sprout up wings to lift you out of here

Your heels will grow two fins, and out of Hades

You’ll drift, and in a tick you’ll disappear.

 

The city is aflame. How can we both survive?

At our back a salt stone is thrown into a beehive.

 

(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

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)

 

That summer night we went down by the sea

To watch the fireworks, and I was then so small…

Perching on father’s shoulders I would see

The lights exploding. In my arms, my doll.

 

Walking, I raised my eyes to watch the faces

The lamppost light painted their skins in greens.

I felt so scared I tripped on my paces:

My parents turned into spine-chilling beings.

 

I could not ask: I was afraid of talking.

The neon lights were blazing their sick colour.

I watched my feet, bare in the sandals, walking,

My dolly’s face, my hands, and they discoloured.

 

I can’t remember fireworks, the nightmare dulled the show

That night I had for parents two persons I didn’t know.

 

(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)
