“Being empty is like a vacant house. An unlocked, vacant house. Anybody can come in, anytime they want. That’s what scares me the most”
― Haruki Murakami, Kafka on the Shore
What lies.
Behind closed doors.
Silent screams.

WordPress Photo Challenge – Converge – (re)converge(d)
wrinkle eclectic
Consequences.
Photo 101 on WordPress had consequences.
One, there are others, was being invited to join Justine’s Eclectic Corner, a select group of bloggers, writers, poets, photographers and errr…me (yes, go figure)
So each week, a challenge will be laid down.
This week’s challenge is “guessing game”, the idea is that other members of the group must guess the subject matter of a photo in the style of a “wrinkle”.
So, here, the submission from belgianstreets and a huge round of applause to Justine for setting this up.
To play the game, leave your thoughts on the subject matter in the comments section below. All revealed here on belgianstreets on Saturday, 13 December.
You know you want to.
Consequences.
“…but I’m lost, crushed, cold and confused
with no guiding light left inside…”
– Muse, Guiding Light
Cold December morning.
Traffic grinding toward oblivion.
Yet.
There is.
Light.

“Be patient toward all that is unsolved in your heart and try to love the questions themselves, like locked rooms and like books that are now written in a very foreign tongue.”
