Terrific little write.
Having dealt with the darkness of depression myself I can feel your friends soul just aching for peace.
Bloody scary but the only way out of suffering is in….give your friend a hug from me.

The only way out is in…truth there. Unfortunately my friend needs help finding a light source at this point. Too deep and too dark and there’s no exit found. Or rather, only a final exit. Thank you, Peter

When my friend explained the things they were unable to get done because of the debilitating depression, the doctor actually asked “Why not? Why don’t you just don’t it?” My friend responded (quite rightly, I thought) with “fuck you.” If they don’t understand they judge. When they judge, it adds to the damage. I don’t know why it’s so hard for people to just be kind to each other. Thank you, my friend

Yes, I can hear that silence. It’s the silence of a mother whose son has been cut down in a gang war or a war in a foreign country. Or the anguish of needing formula for our kids but no money to buy it. It’s the search for decent work, but not enough education to get it. Its the cries of children hiding under desk when the gunman came to school.…Read More

I didn’t have a choice on writing this. It’s been much on my mind of late. That deafening, heart-rending silence unheard from outside. Thank you for hearing it with me, Curt

Carried Away
neglected winds howled their fury
blowing through a door ajar…
startled…
she dropped to cower…
piercing chill burning
skating across thundering veinssudden silence filled empty pockets
scoured sterile by the pain
tomorrow has no meaning
the past has gone awayfrozen fists slowly opened
letting go…

Still Strolling…
it can’t be far away…
can it?
that elusive brighter tomorrow?
I’m not asking much…
just a warm spring day
maybe a chance of sprinkles
and a walk amongst nature’s glory
the cloying scent of honeysuckle gagging the senses
lilacs swaying in the breeze
birds in full choral exuberance
vibrantly budding trees

I try not to let my mind out to wander on its own too often. Gets lost. But with these daily writes…sometimes I just gotta. Thank you, my friend 😊

Outside is where we belong. It rejuvenates our mind & soul. Great piece Willow.

Circumstances being other than they currently are, I’d be completely happy living in a tent. Being what they are though, give me a cabin on a mountain and I’m golden. Thank you 😊
