10/30/22 Faith

 Faith

I climb the rope up the mountain. It is hard, my hands tend to slip sending me downwards aways, but I keep climbing.

Below the ground is a soft pillow, if I fall it will catch me. It is comfy down there, I could lay in the pillow forever, and yet I climb.

At the top of this mountain, just up this rocky wall, something even greater has been foretold. Yes the pillow below is nice, but I strive for what lies atop the mountain.

Do I know exactly what is up there? No. Do I know for sure, a hundred percent that there is something up there? Also no.

So why then do I climb? Faith. Faith in the better place on top of the mountain. The climb is hard, but I know what I have been told is up there, will make the whole thing worth it.


The End

11/26/22 The Girl in the Horse Painting

  The Girl in the Horse Painting “Oh man have you seen that one painting, the one with the horse, on that blue background.” “Yeah! Oh my gosh that painting is so good. I’m actually looking to get a print of it to hang in my house.” “That would look so good in your living room, or anywhere really.” “I know, it’s such a good painting it could go anywhere really and make the room better!” “Have you ever noticed the girl in the background? I never had until someone pointed it out to me and then I couldn’t stop looking at her.” “There is a girl in the background?” “I know right. I was shocked too, but yeah, there is. When you get that print you’ll have to look for her.” “I guess I will. Wow, that's amazing. I’ve looked at that painting a thousand times and never even noticed the girl. You think the artist intended it to be that way?” “He must have. I’m sure he did it for this very reason, for people to be astounded by the fact they never saw the girl.” “Goes to show ...

                                                                   Breaking the Cage (Part 5)     The morning sun rises and Hilton is quick out of bed, his tools already packed nicely in a bag in the car. He walks out and finds Morris already sitting in a chair in the main room.     “Are you ready?” Morris asks.     “Are you?” Morris says nothing but the two head out. “We can take my car, so that your plates won’t be recognized, and no one will know you were ever there.” Hilton throws Morris the keys.     Morris starts up the car, “It will be about two hours.”     “Alright.” The car ride is silent for the first hour until Hilton begins to gather some important information. “So what kind of security should I expect wh...

2/22/22 Teach Me How To Fly?

  Teach Me How To Fly? “Aerthyde, almid, derekt. Kinoay, shymid, ranu. Hinsora, waytana, calekili.” “Daddy, what do those funny words mean?” a young girl asks. Shocked that his daughter was listening, the man quickly turns to the young girl, “Well Maya, I don’t actually know what they mean, but I know what they do,” he winks. “What do they do?” Maya asks. “They cast a magic spell!” The young girl skeptically squints her eyes, “Magics not real daddy,” she says bluntly. “Oh yes it is my darling. If you would let me finish the spell, I will show you.” Maya furrows her eyebrows, still skeptical of her fathers magical abilities, but also curious to see if he is telling the truth. “Alright daddy, you can finish.” The father takes a breath to restart the spell. “Daddy what is the spell going to do?” Maya spurts out, cutting him off just before he begins. The father smiles, “You will have to wait and see.” He restarts the spell, “Aerthyde, almid, derekt. Kinoay, shymid, ran...
