What a mantis is capable of?

In National Geographic magazine of animal mummies edition is a picture where Mantis catches hummingbird.

When a lion eats into a deer, the power play is visible but with a mantis, one only learns of the deceptive strength in it.

Deep sea

In a big hall
the ceiling has an
aquarium
with a large whale
with a fin missing
There are couple other
whales with all fins.
There are many other
small fish too

For the beautiful scene
that it is,
should someone break the glass
the whole room will be the
deep sea.

**********
In this dream, I wear long hangings with flexible smaller ones adding length. I usually go for small ones.

Mirth around the earth





The geography of bliss. I saw this book at library but I hadnt picked it then. I recognised the authors name this time and decided to give the book a try.

Even though his journey is in search of the 'where they are happy and why', we get to preview his view on journalism, paradise.

23.1 point turn driving





Marian Keyes, narrates the chaos of endless fashion products arriving in her mail in the essay 'The nicest thing that ever happened to me' in the book Under the Duvet. One day the tap dries up.

In 'Given the boot', she puts her horror in words at the sight of mismatched boots in a very cinematic style.

Her experiences with not accomodating feng shui into her new house, becoming a gardener against her will, getting a drivers license and loads of practice before that are all very hilarious.

Another dream

What law is it
where you can not
put things back
into the package
they came from

My dresses wouldnt
fit into the baggage
When I go back to
retrieve my baggage
A session is on
in the room
I have to forget
about all the
stuff that I was
carrying.

A dream

Under a low wooden deck
I lie watching the sky
filled with dark clouds to the
side of deck facing the ocean

As a ship passes by
I feel the water
undulating me
