Like most people, I have a number of sides to me. The most interesting one probably emerges through my writing, hence this blog. I love to read, and also to write, and so this is a way to share both.

I have always wondered about eye for eye justice and believe intelligent beings should devise a better way. Thanks for helping me to pause and think.
Thanks John!! π π
Love the pattern. Very creative and done with excellence… as always.
Thanks so much Ray!! π π
i enjoyed reading this piece. the progression and the meaning behind it. just like John stated – very thought provoking. π
Thanks so much!! π π
Reading this piece made me think of all of the anger I’ve harbored over the years, and how I would always seek revenge. Unfortunately, “eye for an eye” did not always leave me satisfied because sometimes the consequences had a negative impact on me. I like that I was able to connect emotionally with this.
Thank you – and you are right that sometimes revenge can be unsatisfying. Forgiveness and letting go are probably better but can be hard to do sometimes!! π π
Extremely hard!
