A leap of faith
Sitting outside feeling a breeze . Breathing in and out balancing out both sides of myself. Letting the sun hit my forehead and simultaneously charge me. I’d been eating better than I had in weeks and really feeling my spirits go up. Enjoying my new home so much that I’d been happy everyday . I meditated and enjoyed the moments with my son.

Then understandingly went up the wall . As it never had the intent of malice . Sometimes I think we misunderstand the earths creatures .
