Oasis, is the word this week. It took many of us to search out a little more about the nature of an oasis, and brought many insights and took us in different directions.
An absolute amazing phenomena, beautiful in its presence, in amongst the harshness of the environment around.
We hope this word, has lead you somewhere to explore and draw out your own insights and realisations.
Feel free to comment or pass on for others to experience these short journeys.
The next week’s word is ‘survive’.
Hope to see you there.
The fragrant scents visit me at night
The winds of memories flow inside
My dreams full of love and comfort
I see myself walking along a beach
Soft warm tropical sand tickles my feet
Somewhere off in the distance
The distinct sound of waves
Are breaking on a coral reef
My two little boys run ahead
Their little bodies brown and tan
Chasing seagulls at the water edge
The air full of raucous sounds
Further up the beach stands a man
A smile crosses his handsome frame
His sons race towards their dad
He lifts them both into a hug
They squirm and struggle heads back
Laughing and giggling to be released
I’m in paradise: my oasis in the sun
This dream visits me more often now
Sixty years have passed since then
The boys have grown and moved on
My husband sits in a frame beside my bed.

It started with a simple read
A special moment in time
An encounter with a brown bear
Just a delight, so glad it was shared
I scroll down a little more
Maybe another video
I can adore
Nope I can’t see it yet
However just like that
I’m into a chat…
The question gets me in
It follows with a grin
How do I really feel
About that something that is
Really no big deal?
Then of course there’s the self-promotion
Causing so much commotion
Lots of likes
And many spikes
So much to say
Such an array
Time to move
Scrolling in the groove
An inspiration, words of wisdom
Foods to consume, from Marley Spoon
A property investor, free course available
A plea to support, so many retorts
I scroll faster…
The overseas news, what can we do?
An adventure, a one day offer
A painting for sale, have a great day
New cafe opened, winning an award
I scroll faster…
Happy birthday mum, do you have grey hair?
Great photos to share, suicide beware
Influencer’s ride, shared with pride…
Training available, don’t miss out
Her life’s story, everything’s a journey
I scroll faster…
Much time has gone by,
Addiction sly,
My mind grabs me,
‘Flick up now!
From the bottom,’
You’ve been downtrodden
Now take a breath
Settle the state
Take a break
Find the peace
Silence please
Move away
From the trap
The noise
The ZAP
Ah yes,
I found the gap…
My oasis
