A little lost on purpose, the winds soothe the walls, releasing through snow-silk tails the human insecurities collected in the air’s memory. Before departure through bamboo limbs, they turn into bodiless hands, feeling the stem texture of a #jade artefact shooting heavenward from the earth. #vss365

It's April 21, 2026, and today's mythology-inspired #vss365 #prompt is #jade! Like the Jade dragon from Journey to the West. This culturally defining Ancient Chinese epic features a wonderfully colorful main cast, helmed by the wonderfully rebellious Monkey King!

The last light slowly disappears through an ivory silk passageway. Somewhere in the elegant cold, a plum blossom falls upon a piece of the fading afternoon. Intimate sheets of shadows rest upon a bed of pond-gray, seafoam designs growing on black earth descended from northern river deposits. #vss365

The April 17, 2026 mythology-inspired #vss365 #prompt: #seafoam! In reference to the birth of the Greek goddess of love, beauty, pleasure, and fertility, Aphrodite.🦢 Friday is associated with her, and with other goddesses associated with her. A day of love and beauty!

She picked up her suitcase. Before she opened the front door, she hung the aubergine silk robe from the door knob with a note that read: this is the last skin of mine you will keep. Sigli stepped out the front door, and even miles from the shore, she could once again smell the sea. #WildWalkPrompt

It must have been so many thousands of years ago, before imposed structures of injustice. Here, I am not a mother, nor a daughter, nor a wife. I am having lunch under the shade of a tree, fascinated by the #water’s coldness as branches bend into an archway almost touching the flowing mirror. #vss365

Our bodies and the earth mostly consist of it. Some fear it, but we need it to live - or to drown. It separates us and keeps us apart. But we can cross it to explore, escape and reunite. It's a cognate in English and Afrikaans. The #vss365 #prompt for April 12, 2026 is #water

I cannot help but believe this to be a scene from my past life. Surely, it must be; for I can smell the golden-brown deposits spreading upon the #bank. Newly melted ice bounces against the sunlight — a musical production of splash and dive — while trees blacken into the mountainous distance. #vss365

In Afrikaans it's a sofa or couch. In English, it's also the way aircraft tilt to change direction. In both languages, it's a cognate for the place where you store money for safekeeping and growth. (Not under your mattress, no!) The #vss365 #prompt for April 8, 2026 is #bank

Liquid islands of clouds cover the side of a cliff facing a summer pavilion — a tiny thing standing before a giant rising to the heavens. Waterfalls braid their way down wave-cut formations — a sleeping dragon painted with slender lines of ink diluted by mist-blankets and pillow-soft floods. #vss365

If you're here, it's coursing through your veins. Some even flaunt it on the skin. We add it to paper in print or by hand. It stains and is more permanent than a line in the sand. It's another cognate shared by English and Afrikaans. The #vss365 #prompt for April 7, 2026 is #ink

A floating gallery of plum blossoms spreads across the stream’s murmurs, while its lines frame a thousand-year moment in which chapters of mist unroll upon northern hills. Branch of banana flower extends an extraterrestrial #arm indoors — a giant brush pregnant with gold-blush of snow peach. #vss365

In English it also means to weaponise. In Afrikaans its other definition is to be poor. In both languages it's a cognate for a bodily limb. The #vss365 #prompt for April 6, 2026 is #arm

His ego was shaken down to the foundations when his wife left him without a care. And forcing himself not to show discomfort became exhausting. Before then, women he commanded with his eyes had given themselves, freely; while he — as a supremely handsome, erotic man — dictated all the terms. #vss365

English isn't my mother tongue, Afrikaans is. Did you know that you, as an English speaker, already understand Afrikaans? Words that have the same meaning and spelling in both languages are called cognates. The #vss365 #prompt for April 1, 2026 is #man
