V. J.’s Challenge: Unanswerable
V.J. has asked us to reflect on the meaning of our blog name.
“Stuff and what if…” came out of the blue. The word ‘stuff’ applies to all material things in our lives, as well as old thoughts…
“What if…” leads to exploration of curiosity, creativity and imagination that can be a changing force in our lives.
In a dream
Looking downriver
Presented with a choice
Stop to look back
All my stuff appears upriver
Material things left behind
Old memories that hinder
People who scarred happiness
Travelling lighter
Curiosity emboldened
What if’s…
Flow in front of me
Inner child laughs with glee
Dipping toes into the river
No fear
Just curiosity
Patrick’s Challenge: Entangled
“Each of us needs to withdraw from the cares which will not withdraw from us. We need hours of aimless wandering or spates of time sitting on park benches, observing the mysterious world of ants and the canopy of treetops.”
“Seated here in contemplations lost, my thoughts discover vaster spaces beyond, supernal silence and unfathomed peace”

Following the light.
"Yeah, that's right. We bad."
