Peter, this touched my heart. Suffering is used to refine and strengthen us, much like a blacksmith uses a furnace to refine precious metals. Stay strong. 🌹🌾🕊️

I’ve had my share of dark thoughts. I don’t want to go back to that place. One can only hope the future is better.

Who decides when it isn’t? Is there a voting process? Or do we just say screw it & flip the status quo? I like the powerful simplicity of this one

Thanks for reading.
It’s more about accepting the present moment.

I tend to say that when I see that there is no other way. Nicely done.

I thought I was you were going in to a Bruce Hornsby song ” That’s just the way it is. Some things will never change. That’s just the way it is. But don’t you believe them”.
Nice! -

That must be the secret because some people seem to enjoy it a little too much sometimes. But in all seriousness, there are definitely days where it feels like you might as well just embrace it because that’s all there is left to do. Kind of reminds me of some song lyrics from a song I like, “So I made friends with all my demons/ Let ’em sink their teeth in/ Got used to the feeling of letting it go” and a mix of “you either laugh about it or you’ll cry”.

Thanks for the comment and the time it took to write it.
I find sitting still quite pleasant these days.No noise except for the sound of the universe.

How painfully correct you are.. and yet
while painful I still found the ability to smile during the read. Humans are indeed idiots.Clay

It always seemed weird to me that in a world full of people most of us feel lonely. Great ink.
