Our hearts feed our minds whether it’s in a negative or positive way.
But our minds don’t always feed what our heart wants.

Story Trees
The beauty of a tree is intricate. There are so many parts, yet they are all part of one trunk. Everything comes together to make up the whole. We see the individual parts, but we also see the one.
Stories work much the same way. There is one main story, but within it are ‘branches’ or ‘offshoots’ of smaller stories that, when you put them all together, make up the main story. The end result is one story with many parts within it. They all connect. With a tree if you take a part of it and replant it, it grows into another tree. The same applies to a story. If you take a part of the story, you can create another story.
Seclusion and Thoughts
Being alone provokes a thought or two or three. But crowded places give
birth to rapid fire thinking that calls or seclusion.
Beauty and God
What is more beautiful, God’s creation or things money can buy?
I choose God Himself because He is where beauty comes from.
Money and Things
Having all the money in the world can get you all the things you’ve ever wanted, but all the things you’ve ever wanted will never get you all the money in the world.
Mist in the Sunshine by L. M. Montes
Wafting up and away the pollen drifted as I lay
my head aloft a pillow of leaves,
drifts of cloud remnants break free,
separate–
wind tickles them,
they laugh,
tiny, beaded, dewy drops float and blow
a downward path–
resting pleasant mist as nature sews.
Love’s Haiku by L. M. Montes
Standing near a tree
I see you laugh heartily
warming the heart’s soul.
I step closer now,
hoping for chances to speak
to your being so strong.
A glance from your eyes
meets mine, staggers, and repeats
until you are rapt.
Without a thought you’re here
splaying love words lovingly
inside my minds ear.
Future Publication
Next up on the publishing agenda, I will be publishing a book of all of my short stories on Amazon in the coming months. I am pushing for mid April. Between now and then, I will be tweaking each of them with more details (characters, setting, and soforth), editing, and formatting. I will update this post with link info as time gets closer.

Writing Prompts: Part II
Hello everyone. I hope your day is going well. A while back I published a post with some writing prompts. Here are some more.
- As I shut my draw, something tiny and black flew into it.
- The cool water caressed my feet. But…
- I did a double take, when I passed…
- The day came when…
- “I talked to him yesterday. He said…”
- “You’re standing in my way. All I…”
- Choose an article in the newspaper, look at the fifth or sixth line, and use it to create a poem or short story.
- I reached into my purse then realized…
- Write a story about a talking gold fish.
- Write a story with the line, “Then he/she slapped me.”
