Keeper of our world.
Chuck the Stuck Cow
Your final three words for this week are:
STUCK
CLUCK
CHUCK
There once was a cow named Chuck
Who seems to be stuck, oh what luck!
In the mud he did tread,
With a loud moo he said,
“I’d rather be clucking like a duck!”

“The greater the difficulty, the more the glory in surmounting it.” ―Epicurus
Roger and Eddie
Here’s an outtake from a challenge I was planning to do. There’s an error in this one, but I love how it turned out, so here you go!
Roger the Roster and Eddie the Eagle spent their days on the balcony, indulging in marshmallows and sipping wine. A violin’s soothing melody floated through the air, enhancing their wishy-washy atmosphere. Despite the music’s charm, their lives felt stagnant, with financial troubles looming. The stark reality was that their car was about to be impounded, a constant reminder of their struggles. Yet, they chose to focus on trivial pleasures, seemingly unfazed by the precariousness of their situation.
Sorrow
Tears fall like raindrops,
Heavy hearts wear shadows’ veils,
Time heals, yet leaves marks.
Preparation
Preparation is what’s needed
To accomplish what you hope,
With each small step and steady aim,
You’ll find your way, you’ll learn to cope.
Each moment spent in focus clear
Builds the path that leads you on;
With courage in your heart, my dear,
Your dreams will wake with each new dawn
On That Note
The only podcast I listen to is “On That Note,” hosted by Shawn Stockman from Boyz II Men. Here’s a clip from one of the latest moments where he was interviewing his bandmates.

Embrace of Healing
Gentle, comforting,
Warm touch to soothe and connect,
Love in every stroke.
Whispers of hope linger,
In the silence, hearts converse,
Binding souls as one.
Through trials, we find strength,
A tender hand to hold us,
Together we rise.
In each softly spoken word,
In every lingering glance,
Trust blooms as we dance.
With every heartbeat shared,
A sanctuary unfolds,
Where peace lives and grows.ve in every stroke.
