Did you Know ~ Unusual Pets: Coenobita Clypeatus

I sense the earth moving yet it’s a subtle sensation.  I’ve detected a clattering, too.  It sounds as if a small army is mobilizing in the distance.  I refocus my senses.  There!  Below me!  It’s as if I’ve crested a mountain where the valley below has opened to reveal the organized turmoil of an army [...]

~~There was a time….

A time humans lived in accordance of Nature. They lived in the inter-connective web of life until life changed and humans removed themselves. Some say the turning point was the invention of the plow. Of course, religion was involved in the division of humans and nature too. A divide that has happened at different times with [...]

Did You Know~Pet or Prisoner

Prose by Jeff Dupuis

Christ

I was complaining about my father, who just bought a house
In Newfoundland, at a Starbucks, sipping on a low-fat Chai Latte,
And warming my hands on the mug, when Christ returned to Earth.
I didn’t recognize him with short hair,
But the marks on his forehead and hands
Were a dead giveaway. I nodded to him as
He walked through the door, and he nodded back.
His face was gaunt, weather-beaten, as he was,
No doubt, unfamiliar with the Canadian winter,
and there was a hint of anger in his eyes, something
lingering, from the old days. He didn’t part the line,
but waited patiently behind a fat woman hand-in-hand
with her scrawny boyfriend. If I didn’t know better, I’d say
he was still pissed off at us,
for never really getting it. [Read More...]

Girl from Haiti
by Megan

I can tell that the little girl is very happy. How can I tell that she is happy??? By the way her eyes light up! The little girl also looks very relieved, like something has caused her much stress and she was depressed! But in this picture she looks like she is going to be okay now and now she doesn’t have anymore worries! I can also see confidence, like she is the one to take charge in her family and have confidence. She looks very joyful! It looks like she is having fun, also excited. But it also looks like she has been through some tough times and is now just getting over them.

Girl from Haiti
by Kristan

I feel happiness in my heart and in my soul.
I’m so happy that someone came and fixed my broken heart.
Someone really must love me.
At least someone cares for me.
