Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 6.2 (wip)

Mira stood in the cool blowing breeze of the night air, and looked up into the sky and stared at the moon. She knew Abraham was right; she’d lost her faith a long time ago. Most of the time, she just pretended to believe in something. Mira had come to a point in her life where she only believed in what she could see and feel. She understood that faith was simply a leap she just hadn’t been able to take.

If only she could get over herself and her circumstances, make the choice to believe in something bigger than herself, maybe Giovanni wouldn’t be such a puzzle to her. Mira searched the sky that night, hoping to see the majestic bird of her dreams soar across the heavens giving her a reason to believe in something, but the night was growing colder. Mira waited until she could wait no more, and then scurried off to bed.

Eternal Curse: Giovanni’s Angel chapter 6.1 (wip)

Finally, one night after Mira and Giovanni had finished entering all their data into Abraham’s super computer, Mira joined Abraham and Giovanni for dinner. She was tired and weary. Her face and demeanor weren’t hiding anything and neither was she. That evening she ate her meal in silence. After dinner, Mira swiftly excused herself from the table and headed out to the gardens to get some fresh air. Giovanni remained in the kitchen to clean up. Abraham followed slowly behind Mira to talk to her.

“So, I take it you had an especially rough day today,” said Abraham in a questioning tone.

Mira shrugged her shoulders and slowly turned around and gave a sigh. “This isn’t what I was expecting,” said Mira beginning to pace again. “Tell the truth Abraham. Is there really something special here or am I just wasting my time?”

EC: Giovanni's Angel Full Moon Tea & Conversation

Tea and Conversation 12: Age

teaNtalk

Today I’m sharing a picture of an antique Victorian teapot and stand I posted on my tea pin board.

Please do not copy this image. Click image to share on Pinterest.

Today in my meditation I’m thinking about Eternal Curse and Full Moon, and I’m writing about: Why age?

It seems to have become a theme in my writing to feature important older characters. It was a few years ago that I truly grasped the concept of ageism and realized that I too had been practicing it. I’ve made efforts since them to not judge people by their age and set limitations upon them. The fact that older characters keep showing up in my stories and having a major impact is a byproduct of this. I never set out to use my writing as a platform, but when I look back at what I’ve written, many messages begin to pop out at me.

I like the idea that as we get older, we actually get better, but I do acknowledge that aging is a challenge. I don’t make it a point to have my older characters seem larger than life, but I do show that you can live a life worth living after a certain age, through my characters. In essence, I write these characters because I hope to someday be just like them. I don’t want to be an old lady siting in a rocking chair (even though rocking chairs rock) barely able to hold onto my knitting needles watching the world spin around me. I want to truly live every moment, right up to the end.

For those who are familiar with my Eternal Curse Series, Abraham is just the first of my senior characters to make an impact on this overall story. I hope to be able to share my, It’s Like the Full Moon, story with the world soon and give people a chance to fall in love with the many senior characters that make an impact in that story.
