Yesterday I received Atika's sms, she asked about me : how are you sister? Long time I didn't see you online ... Hope everything is okay.

Cosmos is the term applied by Phytagoras to describe the universe. It consists of galaxies, stars, planets, moons, energies and lots of other matters. Similar to the universe we have the living beings that composed of organs, molecules, atoms, electrons, and energies. The term macrocosmos is applied to the universe and microcosmos is for the living beings.

Now let us see a human being. Why do we call a human being a microcosmos ?

Fancy seeing your letters again, because I haven't talked to you for yonks. First of all I should ask for your forgiveness ; As you know it's all about time, but for sure I will call round sooner.

Dear Ultimate,

In response to Tara's writing challenge about uncountable nouns, I am writing this letter to you depicting a fiction story about an incident, that might test your patience.

Do I need to mention the time when you were caught shop lifting at a store. I did not know what had gotten into you. Your conduct was dubious from the beginning of the day as you came out of your house dressed as an Eskimo while I was pondering how hot the weather was.

Since the heat was unbearable, we got into a

A Glass of Milk – Paid In Full

One day, a poor boy who was selling goods from door to door to pay his way through school, found he had only one thin dime left, and he was hungry.

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch in San Ysidro. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs.

The last time I was there he introduced me by saying, “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my horse.
