On Friday, the College of Liberals Arts welcomed the class of 2016 to Temple University at the Freshman Convocation assembly. More than 600 incoming freshmen gathered to hear words of encouragement, advice and wisdom from Dean Teresa Scott Soufas, Vice Dean for Academic Affairs Jayne Drake, and fellow CLA students.
Two outstanding CLA students addressed the freshmen. D’Juan Lyons, a senior majoring in Spanish Linguistics, emphasized the importance of taking advantage of resources and opportunities here at Temple University. He challenged fellow classmates to avoid shortcuts and to go forth on their new journey “wholeheartedly and with full force.” Speaking from experience, political science major Grace Osa-Edoh shared three powerful lessons with CLA freshmen. Grace encouraged her classmates to “take it one step at a time, be ready to adapt to move forward, and ask for help along the way.”
The College of Liberal Arts wishes all of its students continued success. As Vice Dean Jayne Drake said, “enjoy and embrace your time here at Temple University."
And when I wanted more, you flew away.
Now, if I want to talk, I find a wall
Concrete around me, knowing that today
Will bring me worries and thoughts I won’t recall.
If I just want to speak, I cannot start
A proper conversation. And I just wait
For you to talk. But we are so apart
That waiting is a spice I taste, like hate.
Recalling the blithe moments of light laughter
I walk the same old tracks we walked back then.
Sometimes I feel the same, but it’s an after
Thought, because I am entangled once again.
“Ev’rything seems to bring…”, too well I knew the lines
My eyes are aged and tired, the mirror sees the signs.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

Ilka interviewt Angelina Jolie. Auf dosionair.de zeigt sich die Journalistin von ihrer kreativen Seite.
I live behind my eyes: from the portholes
I see the world go by, the brightest paints,
Watching the stars, my hands, the others’ souls.
I close my eyes and everything restrains.
The little I that lives inside my head
Has no way out, being a convicted.
She twists and turns, sometimes she loses her thread
Of thoughts, sometimes she feels afflicted.
She has a mirror there, she looks inside
The silver surface, but that’s me in it;
The feeling’s creepy, and she tries to hide
No way to run at last, she has to admit.
That’s why I look outside - the bat of the old byword –
I stay inside and look out, there’s nothing so absurd.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)

Yes please, I’d love a cuppa coffee with my tea! trulyjuly.wordpress.com/2018/05/28/yes-please-id-love-a-c... ;)
The automatic writing project started out as an activity among friends and locals. I would write a line someone else would write a line and so on... Then people would overhear us and ask if they could participate and write something too (which surprised me) of course I said "yes!" At that point I realized that lots of people have something to say. I started asking strangers to add entries, then I graduated to offering people $1.00 to participate, some people do not accept the dollar and some pay me a $1.00 (paying it forward). It's becoming quite a lovely, surprising and compelling project. People from many walks of life are participating: homeless, a news reporter, academics, students, doctors, drug addicts, lawyers, tourists etc... People have written things in my journal that they'd never say out loud, not to anyone. Some of it's so sad, some intriguing, hilarious and so on... At the end of the day, every one of these people understand that their entries are being uploaded to the internet and are comforted in knowing that they will be heard. I have no idea where this is going, but it's going just fine! FYI: English is not everyone's first language here. I will be illustrating the book/journal after the text is done. I hope that everyone who reads these entries learns something about people, mostly that we never know what someone else is going through.

A gift for the artist/writer in your family. These are little journals with a prompt on each page, suitable for creative writing or sketching.
Plenty of options available: original print on hard covers (raw board with fabric spine and fabric corner protection, ) - these are good for those who want to sketch or write on the go; bright coloured soft covers available with original print, digitally remastered print in medium or small.
I lack the time to list them in my shop right now, but you are welcome to contact me directly if you are interested. -- Hope you'll like them. And the prompts of course.

Sitting on this same bench, facing the sea
You saw me knee deep in tears, as if
I was fighting my childhood and my age
And struggling against myself.
You saw me knee deep in tears, as if
I was drowning, again, because of you
And struggling against myself:
Furiously, I reached for the shore.
I was drowning again, because of you:
The salt was burning, reddening the scars.
Furiously, I reached for the shore
Was a live blade under every step I took.
The salt was burning, reddening the scars
Inside your chest. The steady beating drum
Was a live blade: under every step I took
Slowly crushed the coil.
Inside your chest the steady beating drum
Kept beating pace by pace, ignoring me.
Slowly crushed the coil
And every wave was harmful.
Kept beating pace by pace, ignoring me,
The sea, under the darkest autumn sky
And every wave was harmful
Sitting on this same bench, facing the sea.

This time of year you must in me behold
‘Cause I resemble what the world would be:
The grass begins to grow, and from the cold
The buds begin to sprout on the old tree.
In me, you’ll see the dawning of the day
Breaking the hardest surface of the soil,
Melting the snow and ice, putting away
The saddest colours that the spring would spoil.
In me you feel the glowing of a flame
That burns inside everyone’s life, ablaze.
As a reminder, I will shed my frame
What will remain’s the shadow of a haze.
From now, I’ll speak no more, and you will not forget
An Angel on a tree, his white lean silhouette.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)
