    • Your writing is always very deep and this is no exception. Your details of the connection between them is profound indeed and based in love and a memory of him that will never be lost or corrupted. Any comment I can give on this is not enough. There’s so much said here. Great writing, Styx.

      • Thank you Tim. It was a lot of work, including jotting down little notes while working at my job thursday and friday. I do maintenance at an older apartment complex, very busy most of the time. But, the creative ideas wait for no work. LOL.
        I know that this write, because of the title, the header picture, etc, will keep many people away. But I hope those who do read it get something positive from it. There are several gospels not in the bible, some called the gnostics, that tell much different stories from the traditional ones picked to be in the King James version. The version of Mary M being His wife is in some of them. So, who really knows by now.
        And, I am beating myself up over a part three! Do I, do I not. Grrrr.
        I sincerely appreciate your generous comment, Tim. And what you did say is enough. It is awesome.

    • How to start with this. This is excellent!
      Your interpretation of how she adored and suffered his life and loss is truly amazing. A weaving journey through her thought process. How the world can exhaust even the strongest of spiritual character but away from prying eyes, he remembers the blessings of also being human.

      These are gems baby! Honestly:)
      Needs to be put in your book!

      • You knew how much these two writes were beating me up. Lots of editing and hacking, even a few minutes ago. I had a very specific vision of what I wanted it to say. I think I succeeded, after all the edits of course.
        And, the part three…. I dunno. I’m going to chill on it awhile.
        I am so fortunate to have you in my creative journeys. Because you do the same things and can relate to it all.
        I love you immensely!

    • And I, sir, appreciate your steady support of my efforts here. I try my best to make them matter. So thank you.

    • So, when I finished reading this, I took a deep breath and said, “Jesus!”. And then I laughed to myself, because I was only saying it as an exclamation about your writing and not as a statement of the subject… LOL.

      Anyway, this is just beautiful. Not much more I can say. Thank you for sharing it.
      ❤️k

      • LOL !! I purposely avoided using his name in any form. Because it is about Mary’s feelings in dealing with it all. The very human aspect of someone dealing with such a weight added to a relationship. Like dating someone famous, etc., then losing them. Obviously it is on a grander stage. But being human has its basic emotions for all.
        Its so good to see ya! Rock star!

    • hello dearest Brandon I would think you were always enough it hurts to be with someone who can’t keep up with you but you don’t want to leave behind heartfelt ❤️

    • Powerfully penned, Excellent write of introspection and searching for answers my friends. Let’s just say I can relate, thanks for sharing. Appreciate you.

    • This reminds me of a conversation I had with my friend once. I said “If my friend is going under, I’m going in after them.” And his reply was “Wow, not a lot of people are willing to enter darkness for the sake of someone else.” Which might be part of the world’s problems, in my opinion. This has a lot of depth and compassion in it

    Unmasked Light

    In the quiet of my heart,I pause.The masks I have wornloosen,falling into the still air.   Charm drifts.Beauty fades.Applause dissolves.What remainsis the self God has known all along.   I feel the gentle question:Can this truest facehonor the Maker?And in the stillness,I hear...

    • Well said, Curly. I think God is within us and not up in the sky sitting on a throne. Sometimes we need to sit for a while in silence to feel it, and then appreciate it.

    • Beautifully penned, CG. Amazing write my friend. Nicely done per usual. Appreciate you.

  • The Moment I Stay Still

    You want to steal my heart
    and keep it…
    but you say it like you’re certain
    I won’t notice.

    Maybe I’ll let you get close enough
    to try.

    Maybe I wanted to see
    how you’d hold it,
    whether your hands tremble
    before they tighten
    when something precious
    leans your way.

    But don’t mistake my stillness…Read More

    • Turning the other cheek is always a bold way to handle it. Good work keep it up.

  • Reach out

    There are things I wanted to show
    There are things I could not let go
    When my light is finally out
    I’m in the shadow

    Reach out , reach out
    You’re in my heart
    Reach out
    Whenever you feel you’re falling apart
    Reach out
    I will always be there for you….

    I’m here for you
    You’re never alone, its true
    Wherever I am is a hom…Read More
