Twilight
The evening coalesced into charcoal clouds toward the west, backlit by a burnt yellow glow. Blue became grey on its path toward black, revealing glimpses of stars on the way.
I walked through the shouts and the laughter of a city at night come to life. My mind drifted halfway through the past with the rest in the future, reminiscence and dreams united in their goal to distract me from fatigue.
Two blocks turned to one as each present moment passed until nothing but a door stood between me and home. I opened it.
Leaving my shoes in the corner and my shirt in a basket, I made my way to the sink and washed the day away.

one of the most fascinating things for me to ruminate on is the collapsing of everything that has established you as you are, and the visage of all that you will be, coalescing into the person you are in this moment.
In much more nuanced and descriptive words, you have showcased this thought parallel to the passing of the day, the retiring for the night, and - my absolute favorite - the PERFECT sentence conclusion that truly embeds in me the sense of home.
Always love reading these from you, Ellie, they are always such pleasant reads that I can't help myself from reading again.
Thank you so much, that is such a beautiful compliment!
The final sentence was actually the one that came to me first, and then I had to write the rest that led up to it.
I am so truly happy that you enjoy these little "reality bubbles" as someone once called them. Being able to create little slices of life like this is so fulfilling for me.
💚
reality bubbles is the perfect name, I love it! & yes, that last line was too perfect not to tell it's story.
can't wait to continue to see the reality bubbles you continue to present to the world, Ellie, thank you for sharing them!
Your description of the transition into the night and the wandering of your mind during the walk home are lovely. That time between the work of the day and our arrival home to unwind can be its own bit of therapy.
Thank you!
It's nice to make a little space in our own minds even as we walk through the world.
Definitely therapeutic!
Some days just need to be washed away @ellievallie and you did it in a most eloquent way @ellievallie Beautiful!
Thank you!

While snacking on a tasty piece of Snook Fruit, I came across a delicious little platter of prompts left by the Goddess Marianne. As tempted as I was to keep them to myself, they looked too scrumptious not to share.
Nice piece
Keep it up
