Subtle Halo

written by: Sujata Dash

Zeal of clouds to soar and croon
Got validation of the crescent moon
Trees swayed back and forth
Nodding to the tune of
Whispering crescendo
Bevy of stars up and above
Matched up steps with complete gusto

Ripples on the silver bed of river
Fervently wished to leap and soar
To steal a glance of cosmic delight
The entire show was no less than magic
A subtle halo appeared to embellish
The aura of offerings
To garnish the nugget of blessings

The amazing story got its awaited turn
Drumming raindrops, clap of thunder
Invoked a beckoning …
An intense wish, a fervent desire
Emerged from the closets of fine tuning
To hone skills for upsurge of endeavor
To make it big on a passionate journey.

Generational Fragility by Lynsey Fyfe

Raising children can be a daunting task; it takes skill, determination and a great sense of humour. Raising them properly is a seemingly impossible task. Parenting has evolved so much over the years, it can be hard to keep up with current advice, but have babies changed? It’s hard to imagine babies are different enough now, to warrant such a drastic change in our parenting techniques in the last few decades.

Back in the not so distant past, almost every mother stayed at home, raising the children and keeping the house, while the father went to work. Times were different.
