Conclusion of The Curse by Arthur C. Clarke

Once I read this science-fiction tale about Shakespeare, I became aware of certain thoughts he had about humanity connected with literature. What called my attention was the way he discribed the future of humanity in his works. He was concerned about things that have no time, such as war, death, greediness, power and destruction. He anticipated to the future and he was not wrong, on the contrary, he was quite certain.

What are writing and reading for me?

Through writing we can express our feelings, emotions, opinions, mood and make the reader explore our world of thoughts.

Reading is the other way round, while we are reading we are led to different worlds that may or may not be connected with the author's universe.

Somehow, writing and reading are closely related since your background, as a reader, always supports your writing. Whenever we write something, our previous knowledge, personal experiences, cultural context are reflected unconsciously in our work

Write at your Peril

Have you ever felt overwhelmed by the everyday life?
Have you ever asked yourself what is the reason why you write?
Have you ever found a place where you feel safe and alive?
I’d like to answer these questions
And you and I may feel alike.

Quite often the overwhelming routine
Makes me feel exhausted
Bad news, indignities, injustice
I urge to escape for a while

I think I found something that can help me
It carries the name of writing
It connects me to the world I’ve ever wish to be

It’s the world of the most beautiful feelings
If you go there you will meet Mrs Peace, Mr. Freedom and Mrs. Anxiety
Oh! and don’t forget to ask for Mrs. Imagination!
she is always over the moon, but she is a nice person.

That is the place where I feel secure
That is the place where I feel alive
That is the world I go
when I escape from my daily life.

I am poem

I am a lover of adventure

I consider myself a self-confident person

I feel like a bird ready to fly

I wonder if my life will be full of unexpected moments

I am a lover of adventure.

Loss and sorrow

Cloudy sky
soldiers dead on the ground
houses in ruins

Dark sky
people weeping
blood spilt on the streets.

Friendship
Whispers and giggles
girls, mate and music
secrets and comments
my friends and me.
