Stories by Bela
Life is a climb through rough terrain or a serene journey on a flowing river. It's an obstruction run in one phase and a quiet walk by a lake in another. It sinks to the bottom of the well one season and reaches the highest peak in a new one. Life carries on with joy and love of others but the constant reminder that nothing is forever leaves us feeling alone. This blog is to share stories of the lives of characters I have developed while contemplating on life's great journey.

A Few Haikus
Wind breathes a swift
sigh
Leaves rustle to give
applause
Birds bow in
thanks
Bright blooms now bow
down
Dull Frost nibbles
edges
Spring or winter now?
As the phoenix burns
Fireflies twinkle in
ether
Cool evening settles
Fifty-six today?
Just four more to go
before
Expendable age
Stream music notes
Red maple leaves
rustle
Helicopters buzz

2020 – “You’re on Mute”
The of year of masking up, or irately prompting “you’re on mute” was the year when people in America spoke up, spoke out, and spoke their loudest.
oices from Black Lives Matter. An administration that objectified women and trampled on their rights was booted out by the MeToo ladies.
After all the masked citizens of
the country showed up and did the right thing, the leader of this
administration was muted by the highest court.
Finally, after four years of
pretending to be an ostrich, many good human beings in this country can come up
for air and breathe a little better, safely within the confines of their masks,
six feet apart.
The journey ahead is long and
partly even dark, which will lighten to gray, but at least we are marching towards
the white light. The dark void is behind us. With leadership of empathetic and
diverse individuals, the future state of the nation again has hope.
Even as we put 2020 behind us
with all its dark memories, the movements must carry on.
MeToo’s must continue to educate
and fight for the rights of women’s choice of what they can or cannot do with
their bodies and that no means no.
Black Lives do continue to Matter, and these
cries need to remain loud and clear to drown out the millions of gun toting,
white supremacists who still troll the streets of this country, or harbor
racist and xenophobic sentiments under the guise of uniforms of protection and
law enforcement.
The survivors of this pandemic
need to keep shouting at the top of their strong lungs to never let the world
forget those whose lungs gave out to this horrid virus. Lives lost must not be
in vain.
While we continue to mask up and
remind the zoom speakers “you’re on mute”, our voices are louder, our lungs are
stronger, and hope is back so we can Breathe Freely!
