Murder At Silver Mills

Prologue “I promise, I heard screaming, followed by two gunshots,” the estranged woman cried. “It was right down that block! Please! You have to believe me!” She pleaded with the police to listen to her, but they paid no attention to it, for this was Old Lady Constance they were speaking to, infamous for her literally one-minute memory. Little did they know, the Old Lady was not lying this time… Chapter One: The Detective of the Week “Hi, Myra! How are you doing today?” Deputy Millie Howell asked in her usual cheery, optimistic tone. Detective Myra Sawyer, however, had endured the worst night ever. “I’m fine,” she grumbled as Millie handed her her cup of morning Dalgona coffee. “Whoa there grumpy pants,” Millie exclaimed as she blocked Myra from entering her office. “You okay?”  “I told you, I'm fine. ” Myra pushed past her, but Millie caught her arm again. “Now, with that tone, it's clear you’re not telling the truth . Did you think I would let you away that easily? We’ve been...

An Oleander Named Jealousy

-
Image
  Jealousy is deceitful and hateful from within, A beautiful but poisonous oleander that cannot be believed in, On the exterior, it looks like any other angelic flower, But oleander holds deadly toxins, upon you they have the power. This feeling of resentment can make you feel like you can do anything, Be able to take roots in minds and give painful stings, Of pain and anger to people unknowing, While the real reason for jealousy keeps growing and spreading. Jealousy attracts the weak, the strong, the angels, and the devils, Drawing us to itself like the beautiful flower’s petals, And jealousy’s stem, where Man’s insecurities reside, Sustains that envy through Man’s pride. Each of us must know that jealousy branches off of low self-esteem, But we can prevent this feeling; of happiness and peace we can dream. For all have an instinct to be their best selves, And getting rid of envy can cast amazing magic spells. We all must be careful to not let this thundercloud loom over us, And b...

FAILURE: A NEW BEGINNING

  “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.”                                                                              -Winston Churchill Sometimes things happen, and not always in a particularly good way. Maybe it makes you feel embarrassed and disappointed. Maybe even a belief in the fact that you have failed, and don’t have any more chances. But you do. And if everyone believed in that, the world would be filled with hope and people would have the determination to set things right. Your mind would strengthen, noticing you have the ability to inhale conf...

Bharatnatyam - A Window into the Soul

Image
  The origin of Bharatnatyam can be traced to the sage Bharata Muni’s Natya Shastra and this shloka is the first shloka of the Natya Shastra, the scripture of Indian dance. It means, where the hands are, the eyes follow, where the eyes are, the mind follows, where the mind is, the expression follows, and where the expression is, the essence follows. The word Bharatanatyam” is a mnemonic of three words: “Bha” or “bhava” is emotion, “ra” or “raga” is the musical format, “ta” or “taal” is the rhythm, and “Natya” is dance.     Bharatnatyam is a form of Indian dance that has transformed my life and encouraged me to be a better person. I have been learning Bharatnatyam for six years, and throughout my learning, knowledge was gained, physical and mental strength increased, and respect and responsibility grew. My introduction to this dance form helped me to appreciate my guru, how to begin the class with namaskaram by respecting the mother Earth, the perfect posture in...
