• The soul always knows what to do to heal itself. The challenge is to silence the mind.

  • Unraveling

    I watched the thread,
    slip from my fingers,
    cold as steel.

    I couldn’t hold the end,
    or trace the start.

    Like a shadow in alleys,
    following the hunt,
    its shadow in my chest,
    too swift to name.

    I watched the thread
    through the silence.

    You can only sense
    when nothing stirs.

    I felt tremors pulse
    through skin, t…Read More

    • I was just thinking the other day of all the ways of saying and meanings for unravel. This is a potent expression of it 😊

    his smoky eyes burning holes in my soul

  • Sorry??

    What does the word even mean
    An apology that is supposed to be given when felt
    The word does not erase the feelings
    That absolute absurdity of it

    As a child you were made to say your sorry
    Looking in that same child’s eyes

    • A ‘sorry’ like this is nothing more than the ego trip to make whoever said it feel good about themselves and nothing to do with changing what they have done.
