The Wall That Absorbed Secrets
Stone That Carried Unspoken Truths
A stone wall in a monastery absorbed whispered secrets. When filled, it exhaled them as soft vibrations, reminding monks of burdens they had hidden too long.

A peculiar clock in a joyful village ticked forward only when someone smiled genuinely. During hard winters, it would stop for months. One season, it halted entirely.

How Can Life Be Lived Our Way Is It Possible
When we live life do we live it the way that we want too? Do we call it our way of living? Have we ever thought about that? Is living life the way you want the way we do it or how do we live life? We live life because we have too as everyone knows, but how do we go about doing it? Well, we work, see friends and family, have our own families and then we do hobbies on top of that so that we aren’t working all the time. Is that really our way of living life though or is that just life in general? I guess this all depends on who you ask and what there answer is, for example the way that I live my life is I work, and clean up my house most of the time occasionally i see family and friends, now I know this is mostly because of me but, as we all know life gets busy and things have to give.
