Designed by Brian Scott of www.FreelanceWriting.com — Isaac Bashevis Singer was a Polish-born, Jewish-American author best known for his short stories. He was a leading figure in the Yiddish literary movement and won the Nobel Prize in Literature in 1978. He won two U.S. National Book Awards, one in Children's Literature for his memoir A Day Of Pleasure: Stories of a Boy Growing Up in Warsaw and one in Fiction for his collection A Crown of Feathers and Other Stories. This design is my tribute to him.
Looking at people around me, there are things
That makes me wear my brain’s glasses of sight
They’re characters from “The Lord of the Rings”
They let me see the play as they recite…
There is a dwarf, a giant one, a male,
Able to break the stones on his forehead
His only strength is physical; a tale
He would not tell, he would hit you instead.
The jolly hobbit, smiling with his creases:
No matter if he’s handsome or too short.
He knows every new CD, the releases
Of the new shows: we love him, that’s his forte.
I am the lonely Strider, strolling at ease at night
Galadriel in disguise, never to be a knight.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)
Thanks to John Ronald Reuel Tolkien and Alex for the inspiration.
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.

Sometimes I feel I’m floating in the air
When everybody here is loudly annoyed
A jellyfish I am, fully unaware
Of everything around, hurdles to avoid.
You can see through my body, I’m of glass
My inner self is coral, I’ve no bones
Your shouts will cut me in half with a cutlass
But, as a fish, I will emit no moans.
My body’s here, but me… I’m upside down
Above your heads and down, under your feet
My eyes are sealed and I don’t see the ground
My feet are high above, apt to deceit.
When I’ll be back, the sea waves will flatten down your screams
I’ll float around more easily, if I’ll regain my dreams.
(Sonnet by SiRiChandra)
