once upon ago
times were jaunty and carefree
the earth full of smiles
change stands on the edge of time
social dice roll to and fro
Reena’s Xploration Challenge #237
We have a word prompt this week –
Zeitgeist
The dictionary meaning of the word is:
the defining spirit or mood of a particular period of history as shown by the ideas and beliefs of the time:
Example – “the story captured the zeitgeist of the late 1960s”
-Eugi
featured image – my own
“I am learning to love the sound of my feet walking away from things that aren’t meant for me.” unknown
You’ve captured the current zeitgeist, all right: one step forward and two steps back.
Thank you, Liz!
You’re welcome, Eugi!
Each generation can tell you pluses and minuses…
Now we are in a backward slide. Even with all our modern progress we slip slide away.
I agree, Jules! It seems we never learn.
🙁
We can only hope…
Nice line: “change stands on the edge of time”
Thank you, Frank!
And the times haven’t always changed for the better have they…
No, they haven’t, IMO!
And, the world’s gone, backwards, instead of, forward, in, so many, ways right now.
I totally agree!
Nicely done Eugenia
Thank you, Sadje!
You’re welcome
I loved this, it mirrored the past perfectly
Thank you, Deb!
I guess change always stands at the edge of time.
Yes, and the edge of time is always subject to change.
If only those who determine the ethos of the times could learn from the past
Indeed, Derrick.
Nicely done 🙂 Happy July to you Eugenia.
Thank you!
You’ve captured the current time perfectly.
Have a fabulous day and weekend, Eugenia. Big hug. ♥
Thank you, Sandee! Hugs! 💖
There have always been problems, but it does seem that this era is particularly problematic!
I agree, Cheryl!
Nice take.
Thank you!
When happiness of the world comes to in a few hands, they forget their responsibilities, use it for their own purposes, people are no more happy.
If we took back our happiness in our own hearts and hands, world will be happy again.
Well said, Lokesh!
