  • Damned Day

    Time passes by, and I want to say goodbye to this endless, unbearable pain. Without any regret with the only wish to forget, that damned day, once I have you met. ©2023, Vasiliki Papadopoulou.

  • Light and Airy

    If you were forced to wear one outfit over and over again, what would it be? Well, well, we are in the heart of summer. In the recent couple of days here in Greece, it has started to be very hot, especially today, while I’m writing this prompt. For that…

  • The Evolution of Zeitgeist

    Over the past centuries, an inspirational exchange of ideas using sophisticated language has been very stimulating; it gives many conversationalists the feeling that they have talked about something crucial and essential and might have somehow impacted global affairs.

    How important is spirituality in your life? Spiritual practices like praying, meditation, yoga, listening to mantras or soothing music for relaxation, engaging in philosophy, reading, etc., empower your soul.

  • A Conversation with Love

    Once, I asked Love. Why do you hate me? It returned, surprised: My poor dear, why this kind of question? I answered, you never do comfort my tortured heart and soul. And Love responded: I torment your spirits to get you prepared, so you can embrace when true Love arrives…

  • Miracoli

    Which food, when you eat it, instantly transports you to childhood? Spaghetti! Well, many of you may think now: Ohhh! How boring or ordinary. But yes, it’s Spaghetti. My mother worked at Bosch and for as far as I can remember she worked shifts. So, she usually cooked quick food…
