This improvization went on to become part of a soundtrack accompanying a prose piece at @icefloep (my first time published there) back in July 2023. Happy days 🎼Cover by @frede_kenter 🖤 A Crossroad South Of Utopia (OST) by Vikki C. Music on #SoundCloud on.soundcloud.com/1QZ8yRg1nc…
Dearest stranger, May your hours be peaceful...the windows flung open to a garden of music that never dies... 🎹 My latest improvization - a modern ballad with a classical Chopin-inspired twist. "What Chopin told me"🌹🎶 #original #piano #music #composition #modernclassical

One must "Dare to be Happy." ― Gertrude Stein "We are #Fragile creatures," and it is from this weakness, not despite it, that we "discover the possibility of true #joy." ― Desmond Tutu, The Book of Joy: Lasting #Happiness in a Changing World, tinyurl.com/yr45fw26 #quote
Happiness isn't a passive experience. It's an active pursuit that storms from what you do.

With stars in my flowing hair, silk I meet him, under the luminous orb, he drapes me in silver threads of moonlight lace, my tenderness is safe with him. Two hearts, entwined in a desire that outlasts forever a beautiful crossing, meant to find each other even here. #vss365
Source In your eyes My world resides In your embrace My heartbeat stops. Under the sky, Above the ground, With the Sun, shinning bright, I call you mine. You are my #source of electricity, my reason to become brighter, where no darkness shall ever invade. -Priyambana ✨ #vssromance #Poevive #bionicanadian @bionicanadian

#EurAsia,Oct.19: Global polls find #Israel is the least popular country on Earth, disliked by 67% of people ... with an even "LOWER approval rating than #NorthKorea & #Afghanistan"... For more, visit tinyurl.com/2ptumh7t #NetanyahuWarCriminal #IsraeliWarCrimes #GazaGenocide
People ask me why I’m so mad about Israel. But I can’t understand why more people aren’t livid with a genocide happening right in front of our eyes. And it’s enraging that we’re being forced to pay for it. Isn’t it normal to get pissed about kids getting killed with our money?
