This walk through is very helpful. If I had these sort of instructions making my first blog, I would be more blog savvy.

Storytelling: MyLife's a Charm

Image
On the hard,cold wooden desk I sat just waiting until the day we would chat. I was yours since the day you were born, but not for long I shall warn.  I watch you both day and night, but never on your mind, always out of sight. I was there to see you walk and cry,  but I hope that when it's time to meet you're not shy.  You toss and turn all night long , trying to fight this pull that's so strong. You wake up with sweats and eyes full of terror,  but then you turn over to see me on you dresser.  You pick me up and twirl me around, knowing that I'm your comfort when comfort can't be found.  Your attachment to me weakens as you mature through the years,  but there's a calling on your life so it appears.  A whole new world and kingdom awaits for you and me, just step into the world of the rakshashi. Beep! Beep! Beep! After five minutes of hearing the annoying alarm clock, Shala finally reaches out from underneath her five d...

Reading Notes: Make Up Reading Appendix 1

The Descent of Ganga. Wikimedia Commons I missed Monday's reading; therefore, on Tuesday, I decided to make my reading notes over Appendix 2 . With that being said, it was logical for me to go back and read Appendix 1: The Story of the River Ganges . This story is told by Visvamitra, the character I took notes about in Tuesday's notes.

The emergency of the river Ganges from a foot reminded me of the birth of Athena and how she came from the splitting of Zeus' forehead. With that being said, having mythology on my mind, I thought the river Ganges to be symbolic of Poseidon and the wonders of the seas. When Visnu, who can be representative of Poseidon, kicked the shell of the universe, water began to flow and Ganga fell to the heavens. Her b...

Week 10 Storytelling: More than a Charm

Down the long, dark corridor we walk. I waited patiently for her to begin to talk.  All the hidden history spewed from her mouth, and my throat closed up as though I were suffering from a drought. Louder and louder my heart would thump just as the shadows chasing across the walls made me jump. It's like my life began to unfold. What else is there that has to be told? Further and further I dragged my feet on. In this windowless corridor, I couldn't tell if it was dusk or dawn. Time felt as though it had paused. I've been dragged into this new dimension to continue some sort of cause. On and on about my parents' life the rakshasi explains, and the tears star falling down like the spring time rains. Click and clack we reach the end of the hall as I stop and stare at the birch bark door so high and tall. A future awaits behind these doors. As soon as I pull the handles, I can't turn back anymore. ...
