Eva’s Byte #447 – Do You Hear What I Hear?
And, do you read between the lines of dialogue?
It’s the writer’s social conscience to delve below the surface of the human condition.
The other day:
Turned off by the commercialization of holidays which capitalizes on spending as opposed to the rightful emphasis on spirituality and extending goodwill to humankind, I overheard a supermarket conversation that roasted my chestnuts over an open fire.
Insensitive to the narrow dividing line between the haves and have-nots, two people in a checkout lane expounded, loud and proud, over the number of people expected to gather at their respective Thanksgiving feasts.
In stark contrast to the illusion of abundance for all, food pantries can’t stock supplies fast enough to accommodate those in need. Then, by choice or by circumstance, many will spend Thanksgiving Day alone.
In the capacity of a writer, I finished drafting chapter 45 (1787 words) along the last lap of my Contemporary work in progress. I’ve begun composing chapter 46 (200 words thus far).
*In gratitude, may each of us be thankful for life’s bare-bones necessities which are hard to come by for many.
All the other stuff is just gravy.
My sincere appreciation to you for reading this far.
