Viola's Purple Veil
Filter of Echoes
This was created by Vicki, me. I am no longer producing a paranormal channel with my friend. It is all about Trusselli Art, music, art, film, and progressive politics. I like to create art reflecting truth, fantasy, metaphors, innuendos and manifestations of art and dreams. I bring my dreams to life through my art. I want to share, be cool, creative, paranormal, and be in a paint bucket of life.
Title: “Filter of Echoes”
The veil is not a costume.
It is a filter.
I wear the hush of old conversations,
The bloom of truths for which I was not ready.
They think I wear it to hide,
But it is how I hear the quiet cries.
The ones who blinked out mid-sentence
The ones the wind remembers.
Some people’s voices got tired.
Some were erased.
But through this shimmer, I catch their tremble.
I grieve for them now,
Until someone listens.
I cry for the ones who are lost,
To breathe in the static,
And carry their echoes.
Through veils of the attic.
Memory hums in soft resistance
I will not stop until their cries are heard.
Not with thread, but with memory.
Each bead, each bloom, each whisper…
Is an ache I have agreed to sing.”
Ambient wind mixed with subtle jazz harp and blink pulses,
In the distant birdsong woven into the echo trail.

They Told me Truth was a Casualty
I was going through old photos and thought about when I worked at Universal Studios Hollywood, which was years ago in the 90s. Now It is 2025 and I am 75. I don’t like to talk about myself, but I remember a lot of good times. We laughed, cried, danced, and worked our booties off. It is pleasant. I turned off the news. We all need to laugh a little, think about the good times for a bit, but VOTE BLUE.

I was sold from the beginning with this line, "The veil is not a costume." I love the feel, the jazz, the surreal appeal- all of it! Congratulations on your magickal top story!
Well done sky it well
To fashion a story that is “Not with thread, but with memory” displays great wit and the power of remembrance. I shared!
