“O Sekhmet, Source of Strength and Mercy,
I am beset by sorrow and many troubles;
wounded by injustice and the offensive
wrongdoing of others.
Grant me the strength to meet adversity
with quiet courage and unshaken will.
O Sekhmet, Overcomer of All Enemies,
Forgive my weakness and renew my hope.
Place your protective mantle around me,
help me remain steadfast and resolute
in front of my enemies.
Shield and defend me and my loved ones
from the ravages of fear and anxiety.
O Sekhmet, Who Rouseth the People
Grant me the fortitude to show forbearance
to those who would sin against me.
May I allow no trial, however severe,
to embitter my soul and destroy my trust.
May my heart not despair of human good.
O Sekhmet, I praise and honor Thee with gratitude for your help.-

As if everyday was New Year’s Eve,
you crack me open to see what you get in return.
When you treat everyone as just a gear to a mechanism,
you’ll soon realize how robotic you’ve become.
You were born from love
of jungle gyms and stomping grounds, but
if you’ve only ever seen the world through
this lens of us versus them
then I’m sure you were great at hide and seek.
Wearing others down like
a pair of shoes I meant to replace,
when someone’s resolve shatters under your pressure
like the snap of a thunderclap
is it music to your ears?
We were put on this earth with others
and maybe one day you’ll figure that out.
It’s no quiet accomplishment
sewing up these loud sutures again and again,
but if you do find yourself alone
thinking maybe I’ll take your call, know that I am among an…
Thank you so much, Ragazza Triste (Cynthia) of www.wondercyncyn.wordpress.com, for nominating me for the Mystery Blogger Award! This is my very first blog award ever! By being nominated for it, it appears as though I have achieved some of my writing goals mentioned below!
What I like best about Cynthia/Ragazza Triste is that she says in her about page that she “knew even before I turned 12 that I wanted to be weird, different and boring.”I only just now looked up her blog name’s English translation and it’s “sad girl.” Rancor is one of favorite poems of hers: “He ignored my plea when I implored him to stay / I cried silently / Gripping the metal of my verdict.” She is an eloquent poet and a joy to read. Also, thanks to her, I now know what a Jeepney is!
About The Award:
Created by Okoto Enigman, this is an award for amazing bloggers with ingenious posts.
He decided to call the award”Mystery Blogger Award”“because the meaning of my name, “Enigma” is “mystery.” So basically, it’s named after myself; the creator. Plus, I think it’s cool because there are so many blogs that are still a mystery to us; and when we get to know them, it’s divine! And we find friends where we least expect.”
Their blog not only captivates; it inspires and motivates. They are one of the best out there, and they deserve every recognition they get. This award is also for bloggers who find fun and inspiration in blogging, and they do it with so much love and passion.
Incidentally, THIS is how this award started. Cool background.
I’d like to also promote my fellow nominees, all amazing blogs and well worth following:
2: Which pet do you prefer? Cats? Dogs? Reptiles? Why? RODENTS. Any. love them all. I’ve always loved them, starting with guinea pigs, love squirrels, mice, rats, rabbits too.
3: Why did you decide to become a writer? Does anyone actually decide to be a writer? I”ll be interested to see others’ answers to this one.
I’ve written poetry since the 5th grade and writing comes so easily to me that I do try to get paid for it sometimes. This blog though – is just my creative outlet. Something I learned I should make time to give myself from my friend Shalagh Hogan at www.shalavee.com
4: What do you want to achieve as a writer? A living would be nice! Mostly I just like to share ideas and thoughts. To inspire and educate others about things I find out about, or know something about. To improve someone’s life. To publicize little known people, places, events or things that I think are cool.
5: What are your pet peeves? Having to say something after I’ve already said it. Having what I have said be disregarded. Inefficiency.
6: If this world will end now, what are your last words? I love my babies!
I hope I can find people to nominate that haven’t already done this! But here goes – some of my favorite blogs who steadfastly keep my attention, which is not an easy thing to do between my attention span and my life!
Light breaks yet no one sees and fills the room with clarity Brilliance old fashioned style Men’s ties vibrate with spoken and unspoken color Charmed I’m sure beyond reasonable doubt In collective harmony the minds create collate thoughts and ideas matter and dreams probabilities counterparts and parts unknown Fragments of our imagination and selves exist in and in between time or space as we know them and particles laugh with uninhibited Glee
Light breaks with joyful sound Laugh too and you will see lovely abandon procreating and co-creating Look and see . . . .
change is motion, moment by moment
all eternity dependent upon you
memory hinges upon one moment
un-tameable. moments. unapologetic.
passing you by, sometimes speeding
they don’t look back for you or cry
as you cry for them, needing
traces of time streak down your face
knowledge is motion. moment by moment

“I walked backwards, against time
and that’s where I caught the moon singing at me.
I steeped downwards into my seat
and that’s where I caught freedom
waiting for me like a lilac.I ended thought, and I ended story.
I stopped designing, and arguing,
and sculpting a happy life.I didn’t die. I didn’t turn to dust.
Instead I chopped vegetables,
and made a calm lake inside me
where the water was clear
and sourced and still.
And when the ones I love came to it,
I had something to give them, and
it offered them a soft road out of pain.
I became beloved.
And I came to know that
this was it. The quiet power.I could give something mighty, lasting,
that stopped the wheels of chaos,
by tending to the river inside,
keeping the water rich and deep
keeping a bench for you to visit.”~Tara Sophia Mohr from Your Other Names: Poems
The problem arises in almost every Western society and it is one that will hinder many people’s abilities in life; that is how we are foolish with our time. In this essay concerning the perspective of time, I hope to explore and shed a light on how we, as humans behave and act in accordance to our beliefs about time. For instance, most men believe that they can get much more done in a week than they possibly can and much less done in a year. As we explore the idea of time perspectives, I hope to make it clear how we, as humans waste so much time on this planet, not only on trying to acquire certain superfluous belongings, but also on activities that do nothing but ruin our wellbeing……..
