I have been a Lapsed catholic for a while now. It is not intentional. I did not decide to be one.
I went through the gamut of emotions that led me to and away from the Catholic Church. Since I am a reader by nature, I decided to read the plethora of works written by saints and sinners about this journey we are taking in this life.
Here is one of them. The Interior Castle written by St. Teresa of Avila, my favorite Saint and Carmelite.
I read this year's ago and hope to find my way back to it by continuing the reflections I wrote about it.

My lady- not!
It was funny when I read other novels that portray people getting sucked out in a novel or an otome game. Until that happened to me. I wake up, groggy and feeling a bit heavy. My vision was yet to arrive when a sudden pain came from my stomach. And a child was born. From me. I don't know if I'll freak out and cry or just accept the fact that I died and was reborn. *-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*-*- Hey guys, oh and girls!!! Thanks for taking a chance to read my book!! You won't regret it, I promise! Anyways, all names and places or even events are pure FICTION and any similarities about people or events are just coincidences. My English is not that good, but you can still understand it so please bear with my grammatical errors and spellings. Thank you!!!!!Zakończone
RIVULETS OF THOUGHTS - Cascading emotions
I am a Poet, surfing the rainbows... Squandering the few surviving winks in my dreamy eyes. I, a well accompanied loner, saunter amidst the fireflies. Like a wandering dream, my restless mind meanders, "Will the same butterflies return to the flower?" It wonders. I am the thief who thieved the fire, to set the ideas ablaze, I stole the rains too, I had to flood the despondent deserts. But Metaphors I'd just borrow, they would never be mine. Metaphors can't be tamed, they belong to poetry, not poets. I roam unescorted and unaccompanied. I'm just exploring. Whilst, really there is nothing to find. "Sshh!" There is everything to find... Yet I roam... As a Poet. I roam. The wilderness, of the mind, the canyons of consciousness. -Harish Vaid harishvaid1986@gmail.com A collection of Poems, of the unusual sort. Read along for poems ranging from Love to Life, General to Abstract, Random to Insane. Intended to be an ongoing series. "Painting is poetry that is seen rather than felt, and poetry is painting that is felt rather than seen." -Leonardo Da Vinci Love all... Love you all. "Amor Vincent Omnia"Zakończone
