Goddess Wisdom – 100 words

September 6, 2024 By Ellen

When the solar wind howls it sets the magnetosphere spinning and Aurora takes flight. She stirs technicolour enchantments so ancient and mysterious, they spit in the eye of scientists with their coronal holes and ionisation. I yearn for the goddess’s wise blessing, so I go outside.

You should be ashamed of that Sad, it’ll spread.’ Listen world, I’ve had enough. It simply isn’t fair. You made your […]

Core issue

August 5, 2024 By Ellen

100 words on the responsibility of being a tree parent   After three years, the tree is taller than me. Inevitably upwards, like children, if somewhat quieter.
