High Score ….by Amanda
merciful acts in a battle with forces of misery
I used to play Mario, and have hissy fits at the screen when I would lose, I hated it, but everyone liked it, so I would play it and almost break the game system, and ruin it for everyone else. I was never a very happy child.
Everyone else would sit there laughing at making jokes, enjoying the thrill of the game, and I would be thinking about stealing wine from downstairs, because Mario made me so freaking nervous. I was always running of cliffs or jumping into the Goombas, hands shaking with anger or nervousness, and then running away to go find alcohol downstairs. I was 13.
My entire life as far as I can remember, has been very much like this game, a chaotic running into Goombas, or dealers, or cops, or people who want to kick my *** because I ripped them off, or my family…

Happiness …. By Aboli Mane
“I don’t know where I stashed it.”
“Stashed what?” The youngster asked.
Grandfather gazed at him through the horn wood spectacles as the septuagenarian opened various drawers around the house.
“Happiness.”
The youngster was befuddled. Happiness? To his innocent eyes, happiness was everywhere.
It was in the smile that Papa flashed him when he did well in sports. In Mama’s caress as she fed him an extra roti. When he and his sister bickered it sparkled within her dimpled smile when he gave in to her demands. Among his rowdy school friends…it blazed during a well-matched brawl in the dusty maidan.
As the youngster sat on the verandah he wondered how happiness could be stashed in a box.
If only Grandfather played with him more instead of reading those stuffy books…he’d find it.
The stray dog that sometimes took up residence in their courtyard during difficult months found happiness in…

Did you smile today? ……. Destiny
Written for : Reena’s Xploration Challenge #273
I set out on a quest to claim my share
of happiness. They say there is plenty
to go around for everybody 🎉
I traveled at length, but none to
be found. Exhausted, I go home,
empty and forlorn. 😔
greeted at the door by hugs
of childish glee. tickles and
teases, she runs off giggling.
leaves me smiling 😊
a few steps in, another sweet
hug, a quick peck and off she
goes too… laughing
leaves me smiling 🤗
I peek into their rooms, I watch
them glance my way, a twinkle
of mischief in their eyes. I roll
my eyes, shake my head and
wink back a tease. 😉
I leave them smiling. 🤗
sometimeswe search high and
low, pay prices way more than
required. We take because we
give and only give if wereceive.
We fail to see what counts,

Playful connections….by Ken Hume
For this week’s XplorationChallenge, Reena has provided us with a video on the theme of happiness & being in the presentmoment. She encouraged us to watch it; reflect on it & write a Stream ofConsciousness piece on it. Below lies my contribution, hope you all enjoy the read! 👇👇🙏🤞😁📖
PLAYFUL CONNECTION WITH OTHER PEOPLE
Staying in the present moment has always been a challenge for me with my mind constantly racing forward & back between the next day’s or next week’s activities/schedule or rehashing the previous day’s mistakes; stupid things I’ve said or jobs left undone. It’s a never ending cycle of could have done’s; should’ve done’s; what will I do & what if it doesn’t work out. It can be pretty exhausting! Over thinking and over analysis have always stole away any possibility of real happiness & contentment or of actually enjoying the moment…

Happiest when I’m with you
Sun’s bright and the sky is blue
Always in a euphoric trance
In the clouds and on air we dance
Challenges we can take together
Fighting our way through life whenever
Seeing the joy and delight in each one
Travelling, swimming, biking and have fun*
*Con-Verse
Envelope ourselves with compassion
When conformity nowadays is in fashion
All these hardship and challenges we feel
The burning enthusiasm, merciless zeal
Would be great to follow our passion
Some people survive with their ration
In poverty, some faces turned ashen
And in kind hearts we want to appeal
Envelope ourselves
Keep out of danger, seatbelts we fasten
Choices we make, innovation or cash in
On gentle breeze, with steady keel
Empathy and compassion we feel
Harmony is such one big fashion
Envelope ourselves*
