‘What’s Walancha?’ Asked the English student.
‘What do you mean by what’s Walancha?’
‘ Well, this prompt setter M, has given a cue for a prompt including the word Walancha. ‘The Window to Walancha.’
Mr Sampson wiped his forehead, actually his whole head was a shiny dome, since his wife had shaved all his hair off during a dream.
‘Walancha,’ he mused, you say there’s a window involved?’
I can’t say I’ve come across this word. It sounds just like a place I once knew in the Himalayas. Tibetan monks used a high resolution mirror to reflect the sun into the eyes of their initiates. Thus inducing a state of mind known as Walancha.’
‘Oh!’ Exclaimed the student ‘Walancha is an altered state of consciousness that can only be reached by getting dazzled.’
‘Exactly!’ Sampson replied.

So intriguing, as someone living near to the Himalayas, I can say, they sure are very spiritual.
Purely a fictional scenario Dragon Warrior. What a lovely place to live. 😊
Such a creative interpretation of Walancha. 😉 It’s always fun for me to see what people will do with my random made up words. I think they often make the best prompts because they force our minds to think outside of the box. I guess I need to give this one a go and see what I can come up with too. Anyway, great job, and I’m looking forward to reading more from you.
Thanks ~M, I’m enjoying responding to your prompts. Thanks for taking the time to set them and encouraging my creative urges. It:s a great exercise in casting the thoughts into so many different directions.
You’re most welcome John. I’ve already got a bunch ready for July. I try to write them down as they come to me throughout the month. Sometimes my family helps me too. We’re always saying to each other… “Now that would make a great prompt!” 😉
