Soothiom
The soothing feeling of inner peace and calm
Breathe…..1,2,3
Exhale…..4,5,6
And Again, in…and now out. Letting go of every single thing in your mind. Release your jaw, and breathe. Let the tension fall away like the leaves in a gentle breeze.
Gooood….
Something about the sound of her voice, gently reminding me to breathe, seemed to be the very thing keeping me connected.
Combined with the song of the blue birds, just outside my window, settled into me, a calm I hadn’t felt in years.
The sky could have split open and poured over me like fire, and I would have believed it was her voice, washing over me. Cleansing me from the inside out.
I didn’t know how she did it, and I didn’t care. She had rescued me from a raging storm that had been brewing in my mind, threatening to destroy everything I was.
Somehow, she found the keys to the door I had been guarding. The one I thought was protecting me from the world.
Turns out, it was a prison gate, and she came in and freed me from my own fear and doubt. That sadness and anger built.
Together, we gave them love, and set them free, opening the door and my heart to the joy awaiting me.
Breathe….
Exhale….
Live….!

Miss Persephone's Manual to a Seemingly Ordinary Life
Miss Persephone was found at the dining table, her blue eyes swollen, her tears arriving and retreating like the tides of the ocean. Earlier that day, her family had visited her in the retirement home where she had lived for eight years. It was her eightieth birthday.

Autonomy Is The Real Privilege
Good morning, freedom-seekers! Today we’re gonna be looking at autonomy. A strange word, I know; one many would probably look at blankly and run away from on sight. We’re gonna figure out what it actually means, consider how it’s achieved, and decipher just how deeply most of us are tangled up in dependence without realising it.

Your story gave me soothiom! I loved it!
Lovely & loved it!!!
And so it shall be, this is my prayer for thee.
Reading this relaxes me. The scenes it brings to mind are even relaxing just like the image you chose.
Opening gates is a good thing - most of the time.
I'll try...
