The Treetop That Touched Two Worlds
Roots in Reality, Branches in Possibility
A single tree grew so tall its leaves brushed the clouds. Villagers climbed it to escape worry, believing the sky could wash their thoughts clean.

He climbed down slowly, understanding that possibility is not a distant dream but a branch away.

The Candle That Burned Without Flame
A candle stood in a dark room, glowing though no flame danced atop its wick. Those who approached saw their inner selves illuminated: fears, hopes, forgotten dreams. The candle revealed not the room, but the soul. When someone tried to blow it out, the glow strengthened, as if fed by intention. The candle whispered, “Light is not what you see. It’s what is revealed.”

Search for a Sister, Chapter Two
4-H-N heard not a word about her secret mission around Headquarters over the following days, so had to conclude either Mini-Flash Phytolith hadn’t been listening in after all, or she’d misjudged him.

When Hobbies Become Life What Happens?
As we live our lives and do the things we enjoy, what do we call it? Do we call the things that we enjoy in life something like hobbies or are hobbies just a form of relaxation for us to clear our minds and not think of all the living we have to do to make our lives what they are for ourselves? Now you might not all understand that so what that means is, doing the things that make our lives enjoyable for ourselves, yes we all have to work to make money to live but life shouldn’t be all about working. If our lives are all about working, where do our hobbies come in? Or do they come in at all when that happens? Usually if we work ourselves to the bone we can feel it. However what happens we make our lives hobbiesque and live that way, do our hobbies become life? Yes they do and when that happens how does that make us feel? Well it makes us feel good and that life is livable and fun versus all work and no play. Not that hobbies and living is all about play but we can live our lives on our own terms this way.
