Read “return to reality…“ by for-much-deliberation on Medium ~
the dangling dregs of yesterday
making life lapse into a past that
can never return to taint this present
with head angled toward new days
new thoughts and moments moving
to the sounds that herald daytime
that puncture mind
then return to reality...

"Revolution" by Rosemerry Wahtola Trommer

"there they were, singing and showing up despite,
and this was the moment that made me believe
in the path—not just the grand marches toward freedom,
but also the thin trails marked with courage and creativity,
small moments I can follow like bread crumbs
till this country again feels like home."

The story of two writers falling in love is quite beautiful to me because you are the poet and a king to me
I wake up everday knowing I get to breathe the same air as you
So therefore I Am Forever Grateful
to you
your kind of love is So beyond unique to me
I treasure It don't you see ?
You will forever be a beautiful soul to me
Even if society  says our love is not meant to be
  when we lay down on this earth
Are you mine?
God that would be Devine
We lay out in the stars this is more then what I had hoped for
More then what I could ever dream for
God who could ever ask for more
Your smile shines brighter then the stars of the night it's just right
I wish we didn't have to fight for our rights
That's just not right.

Marteniza
Red and white colours
fly in the spring breeze

On 1 March, Bulgarians celebrate the beginning of spring with the tradition of #Marteniza. On this day, friends and family members exchange red and white threads or small dolls known as martenizas. These are worn until the first #Stork or blossoming tree is seen, then they are tied to a #Tree. The red and white colours symbolise health and happiness.
