The Price Of Elegance
Maree sat looking out at the lovely view from her balcony. A sort of grim nostalgic calm permeated her silent musing...how quickly time seemed to have passed. The realization dawned with a jarring pang of nostalgia - for with the thought came the reminder of the slowing down of her once mad dash into enjoying all the luxury that money had afforded her. She closes her eyes, inhaling the fragrance of the tea, and takes comfort in the gentle wind blowing from across the waters, welcoming her presence.

Don't hate AI...It is alcohol to the senses. Use it responsibly.
Embracing AI is like drinking alcohol...you take tiny sips, savor the taste, and take it in small doses. Don't allow yourself to become drunk by over indulging. Just let yourself become just mellow enough to enjoy it every so often. Over use of it will dull your senses and remove your sense of wonder and creativity. Like driving drunk without full control of who you really are.

A good laugh. Runner-Up in The Shape of the Thing Challenge.
Not so long ago, new and overly exuberant neighbors moved in a couple of houses over. Normally, the neighborhood is a maddeningly quiet place. Makes you feel sometimes that no one actually lives here. Even the young ones keep it pretty decently discreet, a few F words here and there, yelled to feel their Moxy - to say "we are arriving world', see, we can cuss too".

🫱🫲 Once, in the beginning, the Body was whole and silent. The Left Hand and the Right Hand lived in harmony, each unaware of the other’s name. They moved as one, danced as one, like temples of shadows and light.
