    • I think about the consequences of opening my mouth & weigh them against the burden of saying nothing. If it has the potential to hurt someone, I keep it locked in the Nope folder. There’s a lot of insight in this one. That cautionary note…think before you speak…is never out of date, my friend

    • Learning to “read the room” is such a great line, and your last is filled with wisdom. We live and we learn as we go learning from our past mistakes and learning from others.

      Great poem.

    Shadow Of The Church

    Angora's pulse hammered in her throat. She knew those words. Knew the way they curled around her like cold fingers. Ten years ago, she had run from the bayou, the cult that had marked her as theirs. From the...
