edit data

Mela Eckenfels, is a nerdy, dorky geek girl, former unix system administrator (BSD-flavoured) and passionate roleplayer, that still flips in her daily cooking agenda between 'larval stage' and the culinary geek.

Healer

I thought
I knew your face
I thought it to be true
I thought it to be real
I thought it to be you

That was
until
one day
your face showed a crack

First
I thought
It might be a
cut
so deep
to dark flesh

But then
I saw
out of the corner of my eye
as you switched faces

First
I did not understand
for quite some time

I was stunned
shocked
as cracks deepened
everytime we talked

One day
I saw you drop the mask
when you tried to Read more of this blog post »

Mela’s Quotes

“We must take sides. Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the victim. Silence encourages the tormentor, never the tormented. Sometimes we must interfere. When human lives are endangered, when human dignity is in jeopardy, national borders and sensitivities become irrelevant. Wherever men and women are persecuted because of their race, religion, or political views, that place must - at that moment - become the center of the universe.”
― Elie Wiesel, The Night Trilogy: Night, Dawn, The Accident
