Voice Of A Mill Girl. Top Story - July 2023.
Lawrence, Massachusetts, January 12th, 1912 I tried to quicken my pace up the wooden stairs of the Washington Mill that morning. My boots hit each step with vigor. The temperature was below freezing and the holes in my gloves let in raw cold causing my fingers to turn blue. I could hear several women in front of me racing before the toll clock struck seven. I kept my head low when passing the foreman who was looking for any sign among us as to who was an instigator of possible things to come. I walked swiftly past my station where I created wool for men’s high-end suits and women’s coats sold at places that I could not afford. I tucked my own coat filled with patches in the closet labeled for workers and headed back to my spot.

Blatant Blares!
💫✨ 🧡🦢🦢🦢🧡 ✨💫 ©✍️ Madhu Goteti ,July 6,2023 I have been a Nobody’s fool for everybody’s rule. And Look ! I don’t want to draw out on any pattern printing and say: “O ! Lo! Behold! I am holding this mirror and look —This is where I was lost and this is where I was found with a singularity of purpose riding over me.” Through the realms of existence affixed —as in, past, present and future’s defense, here I am. Yet, as I work thro’ my essence in presence, I feel centered in embracing this gift of life as though it was a cosmic descent🙏. It’s much like the bargain of golden grace that guards me to be rarified under this hiatus of history which repeats itself and never ends. And in all this the alchemical reality for me is that All world’s a stage and a bit of everything exists in it’s sheer cognizance to the other. Further to that, the fundamental notion that marks my psyche is that I see —I in thee ; thee in me; fitted more than enough to resonate me with thee ,and likewise, thee with me.

In a Past Life...
Do you ever wonder what you would have been in a past life? I have, that is not meant to sound self-centred. What I imagine is myself waking up in 16th-17th century Italy, the time of Galileo, wearing the clothing of the day. I imagine walking outside in the hot, humid, sticky air. I imagine working as an astronomer. Maybe even the first female astronomer in the country of Italy, maybe even the world. Okay, I am getting ahead of myself.
