Elephant's Child prompts us to use
beginning, masquerade, towel, shadow, life
and the colour yellow in a writing piece.
I settled on three pieces.
Fragments of Time
As you ramble on through life, brother,
Through the good times and the foul,
Heed the words of Douglas Adams
And always take a towel.
◊
In the beginning there was light;
So I’m told told; before my time, to be truly fair.
But you can’t have light without creating dark.
And in the shadows…well, demons lurk in there.
◊
We are all imposters in life’s silly masquarade
So, if some wretch decides to call your bluff—
Hold your ground, hold his eye, and shout:
Yellow card, umpire! Send the bastard off!

“Fragments of Time” mixes humour with deeper thoughts about life’s ups and downs. Douglas Adams perfectly captured the idea of facing life with a sense of humour and being ready for whatever comes our way ('always take a towel!'). The balance between light and dark is real - both are part of life, and sometimes the shadows hold the toughest challenges. But hey, we have to stand tall when life throws us a curveball. Even when things get tough, we can face them with strength, humour, and the willingness to keep moving forward, can’t we?
