Fragility
Beauty In The Unknown
The mystery is beautiful in itself (C. Rommial Butler)
*
The mystery is beautiful
the give and take of life
The cycle irrefutable
lines drawn, cut with a knife
Accrued to give it all away
lessons learned are to be taught
A pebble of life's highway
victories shared in battles fought
Why we're here and what we leave
makes the world a better place
Life is celebrated and then grieved
sorrow sprinkled with a little grace
We plant in spring, well rooted
enjoy the harvest in the fall
And when our life's concluded
the yields enjoyed by all
Take peace in the unrooting
change begins and ends with you
In life's doing and undoing
moving on deepens the roots

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.
