Inner Child
Whimsical games keep the inner child happy
Just because we grow adult,
we don’t have to bury,
the inner child, a part of
our vast subconscious.
As we swim in the stress ocean,
of adult life
with it's struggles and strife,
we need respite.
The key to perpetual happiness,
is a thriving inner child.
So, I adhere to creativity,
often playing whimsical games,
let me share some.
As summer garden blooms
lovely pink hollyhocks,
I make angelic flower dolls.
As I peel corns for roasting,
I make husk dolls—
frugal, rustic, simple.
These are organic projects,
gift formed from the garden,
or refuge from the kitchen,
fun and nice way,
to keep in touch
with the innocent.
Remember, to forge bond
with your inner child,
it will make life less hard,

Day 4 of Quitting
If this is how sobriety feels, maybe it’s better to go through life a little buzzed… this, along with other hits like, I want to kill myself, I wish I was dead, and I’m going to throw myself off a bridge have been the only thoughts on rotation these past few days. I promise myself that if, in a month, I still feel like this (‘this’ meaning despondent, full of rage, and simultaneously numb) I can go back to smoking. Until mid-February though? Nicotine is off the table.

Wow I like it
The healing of adults is inherently a gentle rebellion. Creativity is the most tenacious root system. The deeper one delves into reality, the more one can breathe in the colors of a rainbow.
