Inhaling life, exhaling stories, poetry, prose, flash or fusions. An imperfect perfectionist who writes and recycles words. I write because I love how it feels to make ink patterns & form words, like pictures, on a page.

Safe Place
Prompt: BLUR vs OASIS Optician said his eyesight's fine. Yet he couldn't see further than edges of things. If he focused on his sister, he could imagine her his overture, & that his brother was still there, blurred for a moment in the periphery of his oasis.

The steps to losing a child
Step One: Lose a child. Not what anyone wants to happen and nothing you can do to change it, but you can go through steps to becoming happy again. You can go through steps to loving again. You can go through steps to become a new you because after losing a child you will never be the same person you once were.

This is awesome. I love the personal tone of it. Glad I'm not the one receiving this list though, I'd be so overwhelmed.😂 My favourite was the last dot point
